Abstract
Current medicine might be greatly enhanced by the ability to in vivo control and monitor neurons using opsins/phytochromes expressed in neural cells. The fundamental challenge with non-invasive neural cell activity regulation is a high absorption of visible light into biological tissues. This drawback could be mitigated by the photoconversion of phytochromes in spectral ranges with higher tissue transparency. In this study, we first demonstrated two-photon Pr→Pfr conversion of monomeric phytochrome at 1.2 μm wavelength. We did a comparison of linear and nonlinear conversion of truncated DrBphP bacterial phytochromes. This work provides a structured understanding of the optical properties of the dimer and monomer of phytochrome as well as their potential for use in optogenetics.
