Photomolecular biology
Photomolecular biology is an emerging field that uses light-sensitive proteins and artificial intelligence to control and optimize cellular behavior to produce bioproduct solutions across various applications, from food to pharmaceuticals.[1] It combines molecular biology, optogenetics, and biophysics principles with artificial intelligence to study the effect of light energy on cellular processes.[2]
Background
Photomolecular biology focuses on light's ability to control biological molecules with temporal and spatial precision.[3][4] It aims to optimize and control the behavior and functions of cells and cellular processes using light.[5]
Photomolecular biology leverages optogenetics, which uses light and light-sensitive proteins (LSP) to control biological processes, alongside hardware and AI technology.[6] It uses pulsating light in specific patterns, intensities, and wavelengths to activate cellular functions for desired durations and locations.[7][8]
Light-sensitive proteins (LSP)
LSP are naturally occurring proteins in various organisms, including plants, bacteria, and human retinas.[9] These LSP are known to detect and respond to light, allowing for rapid cellular responses.[10]
Proteins play central roles in cellular functions, including signal perception and gene regulation. Light can attach LSP to specific proteins within cells to control subcellular biology, facilitating the manipulation of key cellular functions.[11]
