Molecular Dynamics of Channelrhodopsin at the Early Stages of Channel Opening.

Molecular Dynamics of Channelrhodopsin at the Early Stages of Channel Opening.

Channelrhodopsin (ChR) is a light-gated cation channel that responds to blue light. Since ChR can be readily expressed in specific neurons to precisely control their activities by light, it has become a powerful tool in neuroscience. Although the recently solved crystal structure of a chimeric ChR,...
