Synthetic retinal analogues modify the spectral and kinetic characteristics of microbial rhodopsin optogenetic tools

Optogenetic tools have become indispensable in neuroscience to stimulate or inhibit excitable cells by light. Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) variants have been established by mutating the opsin backbone or by mining related algal genomes. As an alternative strategy, we surveyed synthetic retinal analogue...
