Part:BBa_K2660009
pMag
- Light-activated protein
This photoswitch made from a blue light photoreceptor VVD derived from the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. The VVD is currently one of the smallest photoreceptors among those tested as optogenetic tools.The positive Magnet (pMag) when irradiated by a blue light change through electrostatic interactions.
This part was engineered to be a building block of the standard BioBrick framework, and can be used with nMag (BBa_K2660008) to join different domains of a protein of interest when irradiated by blue light like N-cas9 (BBa_K2660006) and C-cas9 (BBa_K2660007) domains.
