Creation of photocyclic vertebrate rhodopsin by single amino acid substitution
eLife, 2022 Opsins are universal photoreceptive proteins in animals and can be classified into three types based on their photoreaction properties. Upon light irradiation, vertebrate rhodopsin forms a metastable active state, which cannot revert back to the original

Role of Thr82 for the unique photochemistry of TAT rhodopsin
Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2021 Marine bacterial TAT rhodopsin possesses the pKa of the retinal Schiff base, the chromophore, at neutral pH, and photoexcitation of the visible protonated state forms the isomerized 13-cis state, but reverts to the original state within 10–5 sec.

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2021 The purpose of this manuscript was to design a better method for recovery from rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery. We attempted to achieve this by designing a helmet that can manipulate intraocular magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and create a ...
