Photochemical reaction of bacteriorhodopsin
FEBS Letters, 1976 Halobacterium halobium utilizes light both as a stimulus for phototaxis [l] and as an energy source for creating a proton gradient across the cell membrane which in turn produces ATP [2] . The photoreceptive pigment of this bacterium was first investigated by Oesterhelt and Stoeckenius [3] who showed that it is the only protein lying in so-called ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.

The bacteriorhodopsin gene. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1981 The bacteriorhodopsin gene has been identified in a 5.3-kilobase restriction endonuclease fragment isolated from Halobacterium halobium DNA, using a cloned cDNA fragment as the probe. Of the 1229 nucleotides whose sequence was determined in the genomic fragment, 786 correspond to the structural gene of bacteriorhodopsin, 360 are upstream from the ...

Molecular‐Level Modulation of Proton Transport via Electron‐Proton Coupling in Bio‐p‐n Junctions
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.We developed a pH‐sensing device capable of operating in biological environments. A biohybrid p–n junction was constructed using bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and the photoconductive polymer poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT). Under light illumination, the photocurrent exhibits distinct transitions across various pH gradients, demonstrating the system's high ...
