Regulating protein activity is important throughout lifescience research. Even though there are several
systems available for regulation of proteins all suffer from certain disadvantages.
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 protein activity.
Our system can be not only of great importance for fundamental science to investigate protein function but
also for accurate control of bioreactors and biological machines.
