Halorhodopsin

-Halorhodopsin, a light-driven ion pump originated from Halobacterium, employs light to transport chloride ions into cells uni-directionally against osmolality. -Halorhodopsin has the fascinated property to transform solar energy, the most abundant energy in the world, into intracellular chloride ion level.

This figure illustrates the molecular mechanism of Halorhodopsin gene on chloride ion absorption, in a controlled manner under light illumination.
