Inside Cover: Evolution of the Channelrhodopsin Photocycle Model (ChemPhysChem 6/2010)

Many processes in green algae are under control of rhodopsin-type photoreceptors, but functionally and biochemically only ChR1 and ChR2 have been characterized in some detail, as shown in the picture. On p. 1120, K. Stehfest and P. Hegemann review channelrhodopsin properties with a strong focus on the knowledge about the photoreaction cycle(s).
