Time-resolved spectroscopic and electrophysiological data reveal insights in the gating mechanism of anion channelrhodopsin

Dreier et al. reports that the anion channelrhodopsin GtACR1 does not undergo a syn-cycle (light adapted ground state) and thus has a more efficient channel behaviour than CrChR2. They propose that constructing variants lacking syn-cycle could optimize channelrhodopsin for optogenetic applications.
