Engineering microbial rhodopsins to expand the optogenetic toolkit
Cellular lipid membranes can – and often do – support a transmembrane electric field, serving as biological capacitors that maintain a voltage difference between their two sides. It isn't hard to see why these voltage gradients matter; the electrical spiking of neurons give...
