Channelrhodopsin-2, a directly light-gated cation-selective membrane channel.
Microbial-type rhodopsins are found in archaea, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes. Some of them represent membrane ion transport proteins such as bacteriorhodopsin, a light-driven proton pump, or channelrhodopsin-1 (ChR1), a recently identified light-gated proton channel from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. ChR1 and ChR2, a related microbial-type rhodopsin from C. reinhardtii, were shown to...
متن کاملTransportation Contract Management: Gaining Visibility and Control Over Spend
As highlighted in the February 2010 Aberdeen study, Transportation Procurement and Payment: Gain Control over Spend, transportation contract management is growing in both importance and scale as more companies (about 60%) have expanded or have plans to expand the global transportation spend they have under contract. In response to this trend, there is an increased interest in outsourcing models...
متن کاملLight-dark adaptation of channelrhodopsin C128T mutant.
Channelrhodopsins are microbial type rhodopsins that operate as light-gated ion channels. Largely prolonged lifetimes of the conducting state of channelrhodopsin-2 may be achieved by mutations of crucial single amino acids, i.e. cysteine 128. Such mutants are of great scientific interest in the field of neurophysiology because they allow neurons to be switched on and off on demand (step functio...
متن کاملOptogenetics: Control of Brain Using Light
Neuronal cells communicate with each other by producing electrical signals or action potentials (APs). Different ion channels, including Na+, K+ and Ca2+ channels, are involved in generation of AP. Once an AP is generated in the soma, it travels down entire the axon length toward its terminal in a self-generating fashion that ultimately conveys information between neurons in the neural circuit....

The standard for the data center This document describes the data center markup language (DCML), a structured XML-based format for describing the contents of data centers and the policies governing the management of those contents. DCML describes blueprints for constructing managed environments, the knowledge necessary to turn those blueprints into an environment instance and the resulting envi...
