Rhodopsins are light sensitive proteins that play key roles in vision and other biological processes. Although they share the same light absorbing molecule, their responses vary due to the surrounding protein environment. This project uses machine learning together with simulations and experiments to understand and predict these light driven reactions, with the aim of enabling the design of new light sensitive proteins for applications in biology and medicine.
