Transmembrane Receptor………… Trans membrane receptors allow a cell to communicate with its environment in response to a variety of input signals. These can be changes in the concentration of ligands (e.g. hormones or neurotransmitters),temperature, pressure (e.g. acoustic waves or touch), Trans membrane potential, or light intensity.

Glutamate Receptor………… Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) play a central role in synaptic transmission. These ligand-gated ion channels respond to the neurotransmitter glutamate released from vesicles on the presynaptic side. Upon glutamate binding, iGluRs generate a depolarizing current, which results in an excitatory postsynaptic potential. Alzheimers disease, epilepsy, and neuronal damage from stroke, and have therefore been very important neuro pharmacological targets

Conclusion. Synthesis first PTL with a red-shifted azobenzene core. LMAG0 operates a potent photoswitch for LIGluR made from excitatory kainate receptor GluK2. Fast and spontaneous deactivation is an important functional feature that could be generally applicable to PTLs with low affinity ligands. The red-shift and single wavelength should enable deeper penetration in brain tissue while minimizing photo-toxicity and achieving control with only one light source.
