GtACR2 (IMAGE)
Caption
Four amino acid mutations were introduced in GtACR2 to engineer a new variant protein. The variant can be controlled to induce and stop inward chloride currents using green and red light, respectively, which would turn the neural silencing effects "on" and "off." A photograph of purified proteins is also shown above.
