The effect of lipid environment in purple membrane on bacteriorhodopsin.
The decay rate of the Bacteriorhodopsin (BR) photocycle intermediate M412 and proton, the proton pump efficiency (H+/M412), the ratios of M412 to other intermediates and the rotational correlation time (tauc) in purple membrane (PM) fragments treated by the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) with different concentrations were studied. The r...
متن کاملBacteriorhodopsin precursor. Characterization and its integration into the purple membrane.
Halobacterium halobium spheroplasts synthesize and accumulate a bacteriorhodopsin precursor. By labeling of the precursor with [35S]Met and [3H]Leu followed by Edman degradation, we have confirmed the previous conclusion from the DNA sequencing that the precursor contains 13 additional amino acids at the NH2 terminus of bacteriorhodopsin. Although not processed in the spheroplasts, it integrate...
متن کاملSpin-dependent electron transmission through bacteriorhodopsin embedded in purple membrane.
Spin-dependent photoelectron transmission and spin-dependent electrochemical studies were conducted on purple membrane containing bacteriorhodopsin (bR) deposited on gold, aluminum/aluminum-oxide, and nickel substrates. The result indicates spin selectivity in electron transmission through the membrane. Although the chiral bR occupies only about 10% of the volume of the membrane, the spin polar...
متن کاملDeposition of Bacteriorhodopsin Protein in a Purple Membrane Form on Nitrocellulose Membranes for Enhanced Photoelectric Response
Bacteriorhodopsin protein (bR)-based systems are one of the simplest known biological energy converters. The robust chemical, thermal and electrochemical properties of bR have made it an attractive material for photoelectric devices. This study demonstrates the photoelectric response of a dry bR layer deposited on a nitrocellulose membrane with indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. Light-induced e...
متن کاملChromophore of Bacteriorhodopsin is Closer to the Cytoplasmic Surface of Purple Membrane: Fluorescence Energy Transfer on Oriented Membrane Sheets.
Transmembrane location of the retinal chromophore, either native or reduced in situ to a fluorescent derivative, of the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium was investigated with fluorescence energy transfer techniques. Single sheets of purple membrane, either native or reduced with borohydride, were adsorbed on polylysine-coated glass; the orientation, whether the exposed surfaces were cy...
