Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are light-controlled ion channels that have become indispensable tools in the field of optogenetics. Channelrhodopsin-1 from …
Archaerhodopsin-3 (AR-3) and its mutants have attracted a large attention for applications
in optogenetics since they display a voltage-sensitive, near-infrared fluorescence.
