Molecular and structural determinants that contribute to channel function and gating in channelrhodopsin-2
The green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii senses light through two photosensory proteins, channelrhodopsin-1 (ChR1) and channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2). The initial discovery of these two photoreceptors introduced a new class of light-gated ion channels. ChR2 is an inwardly-rectified ion channel that is...
