Structural basis for no retinal binding in flotillin-associated rhodopsins
Kovalev et al. determined cryo-EM structures of a flotillin-associated rhodopsin (FAR)
lacking retinal cofactor and its retinal-binding paralog, a classical light-driven
proton pump from the same bact...

Thanks!
Our paper reporting a new light-harvesting system in H⁺ & Cl⁻-pumping rhodopsins of marine bacteria is now out in Nature Microbiology! So excited!!!
Key discoveries (using isolated cultures from the research cruise Mirai MR10-01 — personally, this is super exciting🔥):
