Molecular orientation of bacteriorhodopsin within the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium.
The direction of orientation of the protein bacteriorhodopsin within the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium has been determined by selected-area electron diffraction of membranes preferentially oriented by adsorption to polylysine. Purple membrane is known to adsorb preferentially to polylysine by its cytoplasmic surface at neutral pH and by its extracellular surface at low pH. To mainta...
متن کاملIsolation of Photochrome Transmembrane Protein Bacteriorhodopsin from Purple Membranes of Halobacterium Halobacterium Halobium. New Method for Isolation
This paper presents improved method for isolation of photochrome transmembraine protein bacteriorhodopsin (output 5 mg from 100 g of wet biomass) capable to transform light energy to electrochemical energy of generated protons H + and АТP. The protein was isolated from purple membranes of photo-organotrophic halobacterium Halobacterium halobium by cellular autolysis by distilled water, processi...
متن کاملOrientation of bacteriorhodopsin in Halobacterium halobium as studied by selective proteolysis.
The orientation of bacteriorhodopsin in the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium has been studied by proteolytic degradation of purple membrane sheets, reconstituted vesicles, and whole cells, with the following results: (i) Bacteriorhodopsin in purple membrane sheets is cleaved at a single site by Pronase or trypsin; a polypeptide segment of about 15 amino acids is lost from the carboxyl ...
متن کاملDoubly forbidden second-harmonic generation from isotropic suspensions: Studies on the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium.
In this paper we report results on second-harmonic generation ~SHG! from aqueous suspensions of the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium. A detailed theory describing this SHG signal is supported by results for the angular distribution of the harmonic emission and validated by experimental measurements with circularly polarized pump radiation—a condition that normally precludes SHG. Hence ...
متن کاملBacteriorhodopsin induces a light-scattering change in Halobacterium halobium
When suspensions of Halobacterium halobium are exposed to bright light, the light-scattering properties of the bacteria change. This light-scattering response can produce a transmission decrease of about 1% throughout the red and near-infrared region. The action spectrum for the light-scattering response appropriately matches the absorption spectrum of bacteriorhodopsin. The response is elimina...
