Light Used to Activate Select Proteins Inside Living Cells


At the*University of Alberta in Canada, researchers have devised a way of activating Proteins Inside a Living cell using a beam of light. This will allow scientists to study how the activation of certain Proteins affects the functionality of a cell.

The tech**logical breakthrough consists of attaching a photocleavable protein, one that can be broken into two pieces when Light shines on it, between a target protein and that protein’s inhibitor.

While the three components remain together, the target protein can**t function, but when Light is directed at the cell, the photocleavable protein comes apart releasing the inhibitor and freeing the target protein.

The video below shows the photocleavable Proteins in action:
