License agreement between Max Planck Innovation and Photoswitch Biosciences forms the basis for new platform for identifying and testing novel drug candidates.

Here we report that BENAQ, an improved photoswitch, is 20-fold more potent than DENAQ and persists in restoring visual responses to the retina for almost . CEO of Photoswitch Biosciences , Inc. Photoswitch compounds such as DENAQ confer light-sensitivity on endogenous neuronal ion channels, enabling photocontrol of neuronal activity without genetic manipulation. DENAQ treatment restores both retinal light responses and visual . Startup Industrial Research, Photoswitch Biosciences. Doctoral Research, University of California, Berkeley.

In contrast, small molecule photoswitches enable optical control of neuronal excitability without genetic manipulation. Bautista ( UC Berkeley) for helpful comments, A. Nicke (Max Planck Institute of Brain Research) for the P2Xreceptor clone, A. Conflict of interest statement: E. As shown here, phylloxanthobilins are unique four-stage photoswitches. Which switching mode is turned on is controlled by the molecular environment.
