MerMAIDs: a family of metagenomically discovered marine anion-conducting and intensely desensitizing channelrhodopsins

Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are algal light-gated ion channels used as optogenetic tools for manipulating neuronal activity. Here authors present a metagenomically identified family of phylogenetically distinct anion-conducting ChRs (MerMAIDs) which desensitize during continuous illumination due to acc...
