An Atomistic Model of a Precursor State of Light-Induced Channel Opening of Channelrhodopsin

Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are microbial light-gated ion channels with a retinal chromophore and are widely utilized in optogenetics to precisely control neuronal activity with light. Despite increasing understanding of their structures and photoactivation kinetics, the atomistic mechanism of light ga...
