Light dependent mediator

nbsp;Light-depended mediator

We designed and successfully tested three light inducible split proteases: CIBN/CRY2PHR light inducible split TEV protease, CIBN/CRY2PHR light inducible split PPVp and CIBN/CRY2PHR light inducible split TEVpE.

Introduction

In the recent years, light has been extensively explored as a trigger signal for activation of different biological processes. Small molecules and other chemical signals lack spatial resolution and their temporal resolution is limited by the time required for the cell permeation. In comparison, induction by light as developed by the optogenetics offers many advantages. It is fast as well as inexpensive and allows for excellent spatial, temporal and dose-dependent control.
