Jaws
This part is the E. coli codon optimized version of Jaws halorhodopsin.
Usage and Biology
Jaws is a halorhodopsin derived from Haloarcula (Halobacterium) salinarum (strain Shark) and is naturally red-shifted [1]. Compared to the wild-type HR (Halo57) it contains two mutations K200R and W214F that do not modify the absorption properties, but increase the photocurrent generated upon light irradiation.
