Abstract
The present invention relates to fusion proteins comprising protein light switches and methods of photomanipulating the activity of the proteins. The invention further relates to polynucleotides and vectors encoding the fusion proteins, cells comprising the fusion proteins, and methods of using the fusion proteins to study protein function and analyze subcellular activity, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
