Summary
The paper discusses the molecular properties of various opsins, photosensitive pigments, and their potential applications in optogenetics.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the molecular properties of opsins, which are photoreceptive proteins in animals, and their role in vision.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the potential of non-visual opsins for optogenetic applications, which is a form of phototherapy.
