Channelrhodopsin, ChR

Necklace

Silver necklace inspired by the Nobel Prize 2018 in Chemistry.

One half of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Frances H. Arnold. The Arnold lab is studying microbial channelrhodopsins (ChRs), a family of retinylidene proteins that function as light-gated ion channels.

The jewelry shows the three-dimensional structure of ChR.
