QuasAr Odyssey: the origin of fluorescence and its voltage sensitivity in microbial rhodopsins

The authors present an in-depth investigation of excited state dynamics and molecular mechanism of the voltage sensing in microbial rhodopsins. Using a combination of spectroscopic investigations and molecular dynamics simulations, the study proposes the voltage-modulated deprotonation of the chromo...
