Rhodopsins are widely distributed across all domains of life where they perform a plethora of functions through conversion of electromagnetic radiation into physicochemical signals(Rozenberg et al., 2
This construct is a fusion protein of Gaussia luciferase variant slow burn, Volvox channelrhodopsin-1, and enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) for bioluminescent optogenetics (BL-OG).
Rhodopsin sequences were retrieved from the JGI Phycocosm database. Sequence retrieval was performed using reference sequences of well-characterized rhodopsins from the NCBI database. Sequence encodin
