How Our System Works

Figure 1: Schematic diagram summarizing how our system works. Our biobrick generates an ion pump on the membrane of the cell. In phase 1, Halorhodopsin does not pump in chloride ions without light. When light illuminates in phase 2 that gives energy to the Halorhodopsin, chloride ions are pumped into the cells. Intracellular chloride concentration increased after the Halorhodopsin system works.
