Despite growing interest in light-driven ion pumps for use in optogenetics, current estimates of their transport rates span two orders of magnitude due to challenges in measuring slow transport processes and determining protein concentration and/or orientation in membranes in vitro. In this study, we report, to our knowledge, the first direct quantitative measurement of light-driven Cl<sup>-</sup> transport rates of the anion pump halorohodopsin from Natronomonas pharaonis (NpHR). We used light- ...[more]
