    Two types of light-gated protein-protein interaction widely used in optogenetics. (a) Hetero-dimerization; (b) homo-dimerization
    Scheme of light-induced conformational change in various photoactivatable proteins
    Light-gated protein-protein interaction activates gene expression
    Schematic diagram of the Corelets system. Corelets system consists of two modules: a GFP-tagged ferritin core functionalized by 24 photoactivatable iLID domains and iLID's cognate partner, sspB, mCherry-tagged and conjugated to IDR. Dashed lines designate light-inducible hetero-dimerizing units
    Gather of light-induced active enzyme protein clusters, in which the input is shunted toward major product, and the production of unwanted byproduct is suppressed
    Basic mechanism optogenetic control of organelle transport and molecular motors
