Channelrhodopsin-1 (ChR1) and Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) from the model organism Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are the first discovered channelrhodopsins. Variants that are …

The introduction of Channelrhodopsin (ChR2) from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has sparked excitement not only in the neurons that express it, but also in many …

Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), an algal protein from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is a light-activated cation channel capable of inducing depolarization and action potentials in neurons. Three …

Nov 25, 2003 · We demonstrate by functional expression, both in oocytes of Xenopus laevis and mammalian cells, that ChR2 is a directly light-switched cation-selective ion channel. This …

Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are light-activated channels from algae that provide these organisms with fast sensors to visible light for phototaxis. Since its discovery, Channelrhodopsin 2 (ChR2) …

Nov 24, 2017 · The light-gated ion channel channelrhodopsin 2 (ChR2) from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a major optogenetic tool. Photon absorption starts a well-characterized …

Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), the first widely adopted optogenetic tool, is also a blue light activated cation channel. ChR2 is preferred over ChR1 because ChR2 has higher conductance at …

Optogenetic stimulation of neurons using Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) has become a widely used tool in neuroscience. ChR2, a directly light-gated cation channel of the green algae …

Sep 15, 2017 · Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are naturally occurring light-gated ion channels that are important for allowing motile algal cells to find suitable light levels. In neuroscience, ChRs …

May 1, 2014 · The first identified ChRs were ChR1 [7] and ChR2 [8], naturally hosted by the eyespot of the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. More recently, up to thirteen ChR …
