Your responsibilities
scientific services in research in the project „Improvement of light-activated ion channels (Channelrhodopsins) for neuronal application by using electrical single channel recording, MD simulation, and molecular engineering"
Background: Channelrhodopsins are light-gated ion channels from microalgae. They have revolutionized in the past 20 years the neurosciences because they allow if implanted into selected neurons to specifically activate these neurons with light and to understand their function within the large brain context. Recently in a close collaboration with Klaus Benndorf (Jena), it was possible to electrically monitor activity and gating of individual channelrhodopsin molecules and to „see“ and analyze the diversity of multiple open states
