A multiscale modeling approach for studying fluorescence of rhodopsins

In the first part of the presentation, we will remind the historical discovery of Green Fluorescent Proteins (GFP), as rhodopsins, rapidly followed by their use in biology. Rhodopsins are involved in many biological functions and present a great interest for nanotechnology applications. We therefore will also review the structural properties and function of rhodopsins along with their use in diverse fields such as the design of storage devices in bioelectronic.

In the second part, we present molecular simulations at diverse resolutions to study dynamical properties of rhodopsins, and more particularly visual rhodopsins. Finally, we propose an integrated multiscale modeling approach for studying visual rhodopsins, a still promising protein for treating retinal diseases.
