Archaerhodopsin 3 is an ideal template for the engineering of highly fluorescent optogenetic reporters
Abstract
retinal chromophore leading to a metastable twisted diradical (TIDIR), in clear contrast to the standard charge-transfer scenario established for other microbial rhodopsins. We discuss how the presence of TIDIR makes AR-3 an ideal candidate for the design of variants with a one-photon induced fluorescence possibly reaching the emission quantum yield of the top natural emitter neorhodopsin (NeoR).
