Far-Red Absorbing Rhodopsins, Insights From Heterodimeric Rhodopsin-Cyclases

The recently discovered Rhodopsin-cyclases from Chytridiomycota fungi show completely unexpected properties for microbial rhodopsins. These photoreceptors function exclusively as heterodimers, with the two subunits that have very different retinal chromophores. Among them is the bimodal photoswitcha...
