Opto-TPD tools are applied to probing protein function, modulating signaling pathways, and therapeutic translation.
Optogenetic targeted protein degradation systems allow reversible and non-invasive control of protein stability with high spatiotemporal precision.
Opto-TPD tools include LOV-domain conformational systems, light-inducible dimerization systems, and light-controlled degradation tool expression systems.
Opto-TPD tools are a powerful and versatile complement to existing protein manipulation technologies for precise control of protein homeostasis in living systems.
