Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2006 The recent discovery of a carotenoid light-harvesting antenna in xanthorhodopsin, a retinal-based proton pump in Salinibacter ruber, made use of photoinhibition of respiration in whole cells to obtain action spectra [Balashov et al. Science 309, (2005) 2061-2064].

Effects of Triton X-100 on Proton Transfer and in the Photocycle of Archaerhodopsin 4 [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2012 Archaerhodopsin 4 (AR4), a retinal-containing membrane protein, exhibits a reversed order of proton release and uptake at neutral pH, as compared to the well-known bacteriorhodopsin (BR). In a preceding report, we stated that Triton X-100 solubilized the claret membrane containing AR4 (CM) into monomeric proteins and altered the time order in AR4 at ...

Optogenetic modulation of peripheral nociceptive neurons with biocompatible optoelectronic implants [PDF]
Bioengineering & Translational MedicineHyperexcitability of peripheral sensory neurons plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. Pharmacological analgesics used in clinics reduce neuronal activity. They often come with non‐negligible side effects.

Spectral tuning of Archaerhodopsin 3 in Escherichia coli
, 2018 Microbial rhodopsins are proteins that act as light driven proton pumps located in the plasma membrane of eukarya, bacteria and archaea. These proteins facilitate the movement of protons by light-induced isomerisation of a central retinal chromophore found in the transmembrane core of the opsin protein.

Behavioural Brain Research, 2013 Orexin/hypocretin neurons have a crucial role in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness. Recent optogenetic studies revealed that the activation or inhibition of orexin neuronal activity affects the probability of sleep/wakefulness transition in the acute phase.

Central terminals of primary afferents coordinate the spontaneous activity of dorsal horn neurons. [PDF]
J PhysiolAbstract figure legend Primary afferents transmit sensory information to second‐order neurons in the spinal cord, but also receive presynaptic contacts regulating synaptic transmission. Opto‐ and chemogenetic modulation of the excitability of primary afferent terminals reveals its fundamental role in synchronising spontaneous activity of dorsal horn ...
