  • Michael Hammerling 19:10, 5 March 2012 (EST) I'd be interested to know what membrane pumps are light-activated, and how these work? It seems a lot more straightforward for a channel to be light-activated through a conformation change than a pump to my intuition. It could cause a conformation change that allows it to cleave ATP, I suppose. Also, just have to bring up this paper. They use in silico feedback and light-activatable transcription factors to fine-tune expression level in E. coli. This seems like a lot more promising route than trying to "program" the desired behavior into a circuit. [1]
