Photochemical Hole-Burning Spectroscopy of Bovine Rhodopsin and Bacterlorhodopsln
Photochemical hole burning has been observed at 1.5 K in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and bovine rhodopsin at wavelengths spanning their lowest energy electronic absorption bands. Hole widths were -2500 cm-' full width at half-maximum (fwhm) in bacteriorhodopsin and -2400 cm-' fwhm in rhodopsin. The positions of the hole minima were insensitive to bum wavelength, indicating that minimal site selectio...
متن کاملPhotoisomerization by Hula-twist. Photoactive biopigments*,†
A review of literature on photoisomerization of bilirubin and photoactive yellow protein suggests possible involvement of the volume-conserving Hula-twist (HT) reaction mechanism in their primary photochemical processes. Additional definitive experiments to verify their involvement are proposed. Information related to photoproducts of bacteriorhodopsin, rhodopsin, and phytochrome are reviewed. ...
متن کاملSensory rhodopsin II and bacteriorhodopsin: light activated helix F movement.
EPR spectroscopy in combination with site directed spin labeling (SDSL) has become a valuable tool for structural investigations as well as for kinetic studies on proteins. This method has been especially useful for membrane proteins in yielding structural and functional data. This information is not easily available from other techniques, like, e.g., X-ray crystallography or electron microscop...
متن کاملPhotoisomerization, energy storage, and charge separation: a model for light energy transduction in visual pigments and bacteriorhodopsin.
A simple model for the early events in visual pigments and bacteriorhodopsin is proposed. The model makes use of the likelihood that a negatively charged amino acid forms a salt bridge with the positively charged nitrogen of the retinylic chromophore. The photochemical event is a cis-trans isomerization in visual pigments and a trans-cis isomerization in bacteriorhodopsin, which in each case cl...
متن کاملPhotochemical characterization of a novel fungal rhodopsin from Phaeosphaeria nodorum.
Eukaryotic microbial rhodopsins are widespread bacteriorhodopsin-like proteins found in many lower eukaryotic groups including fungi. Many fungi contain multiple rhodopsins, some significantly diverged from the original bacteriorhodopsin template. Although few fungal rhodopsins have been studied biophysically, both fast-cycling light-driven proton pumps and slow-cycling photosensors have been f...
