Chimeric human opsins as optogenetic light sensitisers
Chimeric human opsins as optogenetic light sensitisers is a scholarly work, published in 2021 in ''The Journal of Experimental Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include optogenetics, visual phototransduction, cell biology, photopigment, opsin, retina, biology, rhodopsin, G protein, Opsin 4, aquatic science, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell, Retinal degeneration, neuroscience, glossary of biology, and biophysics. The study demonstrates the importance of Gα coupling efficiency to the speed of cellular responses and created human opsins with a unique combination of properties to expand the range of customised optogenetic biotools for basic research and translational therapies..
