Abstract

Photo regulation of ion transport in protein biopolymers represents an innovative approach to controlling biochemical processes with high precision. This study investigates the dynamic behavior of cationic and anionic transport in protein biopolymer networks under light modulation. By employing light-responsive protein structures, we demonstrate the ability to selectively control ion permeability and transport rates. The study explores the underlying mechanisms, including conformational changes in protein channels and their impact on ionic conductivity. The findings reveal the potential of light-modulated ion transport in developing advanced materials for applications in bioelectronics, drug delivery, and biosensors. This research paves the way for novel strategies in the design of smart biomaterials with tunable properties.
