Figure 3. Four-state model of channelrhodopsin function.

Figure 3

In this model, ChR has two closed (C 1, C 2) and two open states (O 1, O 2). The transitions between the states happen at certain rates; the transitions from the closed to the open states are light-dependent (indicated by the lightning). g 1 and g 2 are the conductances of the two open states.
