Vibronic dynamics of the ultrafast all-trans to 13-cis photoisomerization of retinal in channelrhodopsin-1

Channelrhodopsins are light-gated ion channels with extensive applications in optogenetics. Channelrhodopsin-1 from Chlamydomonas augustae (CaChR1) exhibits a red-shifted absorption spectrum as compared to Channelrhodopsin-2, which is highly beneficial for optogenetic application. The primary event...
