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.

BACCS is a genetically engineered blue light-activated Ca2+ channel switch developed as an optogenetic tool for generating intracellular Ca2+ signals. It acts by opening Ca2+-selective ORAI ion channels in response to blue light and has been used to drive downstream cellular and physiological responses.
