Elektronentransport in nanoskaligen Bacteriorhodopsin-Übergangen

open access: yes
This dissertation investigates electron transport across junctions comprising electrostatically coupled bacteriorhodopsin multilayers. A weak dependence of the conductance on layer thickness and temperature was measured, possibly suggesting transport ...

Bleaching of bacteriorhodopsin by continuous light [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1999
A new two step photobleaching process is observed under continuous illumination of bacteriorhodopsin. This photobleaching is considerable even at physiological temperatures and becomes large at 50–60°C.

Photoreactions of bacteriorhodopsin

Biophysics of Structure and Mechanism, 1977
Bacteriorhodopsin is a membrane-bound light energy transducer which generates an electrochemical proton gradient. It undergoes a cyclic photoreaction in which five intermediates have been identified. During the cycle it releases a proton from one surface of the membrane and takes up a proton on the opposite surface.

Molecular dynamics of bacteriorhodopsin

Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling, 1997
A model of bacteriorhodopsin (bR), with a retinal chromophore attached, has been derived for a molecular dynamics simulation. A method for determining atomic coordinates of several ill-defined strands was developed using a structure prediction algorithm based on a sequential Kalman filter technique.

Snapshots of bacteriorhodopsin

Science, 2016
Structural Biology Bacteriorhodopsin is a membrane protein that harvests the energy content from light to transport protons out of the cell against a transmembrane potential. Nango et al. used timeresolved serial femtosecond crystallography at an x-ray free electron laser to provide 13 structural snapshots of the conformational changes that occur in ...

Photoelectrochemical Cycle of Bacteriorhodopsin

Biochemistry (Moscow), 2001
The scheme of the bacteriorhodopsin photocycle associated with a transmembrane proton transfer and electrogenesis is considered. The role of conformational changes in the polypeptide chain during the proton transport is discussed.

Chromophore mobility in bacteriorhodopsin

Nature, 1977
THE sole protein found in the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium contains retinal covalently bound by means of a protonated Schiff base linkage to lysine1,2. The only established function of this protein is to act as a light-driven proton pump producing a transmembrane proton gradient, which is coupled to ATP synthesis in the living organism2,3.

Photoaffinity labeling of bacteriorhodopsin

Biochemistry, 1990
14C-Labeled optically pure 3S- and 3R-(diazoacetoxy)-all-trans-retinals were incorporated separately into bacterioopsin to reconstitute functional bacteriorhodopsin (bR) analogues, 3S- and 3R-diazo-bRs. UV irradiation at 254 nm generated highly reactive carbenes, which cross-linked the radiolabeled retinals to amino acid residues in the vicinity of the

THE ‘OPSIN SHIFT’ IN BACTERIORHODOPSIN: STUDIES WITH ARTIFICIAL BACTERIORHODOPSINS

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1981
Abstract— The difference (in cm−1) in absorption maxima between the protonated Schiff base of retinals and the pigment derived therefrom has been defined as the opsin shift. It represents the influence of the opsin binding site on the chromophore. The analysis of the opsin shifts of a series of dihydrobacteriorhodopsins has led to the external point ...
