Another humble but encouraging step towards the automatic construction of Rhodopsin QM/MM models by Nicolas Ferrè and coworkers! Automatic Rhodopsin Modeling with Multiple Protonation Microstates doi.org/10.1021/acs.jp…

May be we have done something useful here. See (in honor of Roland Lindh and Maurizio Persico) doi.org/10.1021/acs.jp…

I think we made some progress in understanding the photoisomerization dynamics in Heliorhodopsins. Picosecond Quantum-classical Dynamics reveals that the Coexistence of Light-induced Microbial and Animal … Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2024, DOI: 10.1039/D4CP00193A

Huge effort! We now hope in an experimental proof soon: Comparative quantum-classical dynamics of natural and synthetic molecular rotors show how vibrational synchronization modulates the photoisomerization quantum efficiency | Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

The deadline for applications to the Giulo Jori Scholarship has been extended to July, 31st! 🗓️ Apply at: photobiology.eu/giulio-jori-re… Up to 6000 € to promote research career for young photobiologists  (<35 years old), particularly from less privileged countries!

Could be useful also in studying/predicting ionization states?
