title: Integration of bacteriorhodopsin with upconversion nanoparticles for NIR-triggered photoelectrical response.
abstract: Transient spikes from the bacteriorhodopsin (bR) photocycle are triggered with NIR irradiation for the first time by integrating bR with upconversion nanoparticles. This work may open new horizons for the bR applications in the IR wavelength range.
