    Coral anthozoan-specific opsins employ a novel chloride counterion for spectral tuning

    Yusuke Sakai, Saumik Sen ... Akihisa Terakita
    Environmental chloride ions act as essential counterions that enable coral opsins to respond to visible light, and the polar residue Glu292 plays a critical role in chloride binding.
