Summary
Hybrid protein optogenetics is an engineering method for introducing light regulation into proteins by fusing a protein of interest to photoreactive biological modules. It is presented in a 2022 review as one of three major strategies for targeted photocontrol of protein function.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
The method is useful for artificial photocontrol of proteins, an area described as being of growing interest for scientific investigation at organismal, cellular, and molecular levels. The same review also notes relevance to the development of medicinal drugs and biocatalytic tools.

Problem solved
Hybrid protein optogenetics addresses the problem of how to confer light responsiveness onto proteins through targeted design. The supplied evidence supports that this is achieved by fusion with photoreactive biological modules, but it does not specify particular target classes or performance benchmarks.
