Mechanism Branch
Layer 1
Mechanisms
Top-level concepts: biophysical action modes such as heterodimerization, photocleavage, or RNA binding.
Layer 2
Architectures
Arrangements that realize or deploy mechanisms, including switches, construct patterns, and delivery strategies.
Layer 3
Components
Low-level parts and sequence-defined elements used inside architectures, including protein domains and RNA elements.
Technique Branch
Layer 1
Approaches
High-level engineering practices such as computational design, directed evolution, sequence verification, and functional assay.
Layer 2
Methods
Concrete methods used to design, build, verify, or characterize engineered systems.

The optogenetic inhibitor of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) is a light-controlled construct used to inhibit JNK signaling. In the cited eNeuro study, it was used to interrogate local JNK function in dendritic spine heads and to modulate stress-associated AMPAR internalization, actin reorganization, and spine structural remodeling.
The photoactivatable inhibitor for cyclic-AMP dependent kinase (PKA) is a LOV2-based photoswitchable inhibitory peptide engineered to control endogenous PKA activity with light in living cells. It functions by coupling a kinase-inhibitory peptide to the LOV2 Jα helix so that inhibition is light dependent.
