Regulating protein activity is important throughout lifescience research. Even though there are several systems available for regulation of proteins all suffer from certain disadvantages. Some are dependend on chemical stimuli, do not allow fast regulation, are not easily usable for many proteins or result in only a small difference in activity of the proteins. Aiming to overcome all of these drawbacks we engineer a novel system for light dependend regulation of protein degradation resulting in a rapid change of activity.

-Regulating protein activity is important throughout science. In fundamental science you need to regulate the activity of the protein of intrest to investigate its function.

-In Synthetic Biology versatile regulating protein activity allows one to control the function of any constructed system. But eversince it is complicated to regulate protein activity with a good spatiotemporal resolution.

-Within our project we aim to engineer a system that enables everyone to easily control the activity of any protein of choice just with light.
