Collective exchange processes reveal an active site proton cage in bacteriorhodopsin [PDF]
, 2020 Proton translocation across membranes is vital to all kingdoms of life. Mechanistically, it relies on characteristic proton flows and modifications of hydrogen bonding patterns, termed protonation dynamics, which can be directly observed by fast magic ...

Protein structural change at the cytoplasmic surface as the cause of cooperativity in the bacteriorhodopsin photocycle [PDF]
, 1996 The effects of excitation light intensity on the kinetics of the bacteriorhodopsin photocycle were investigated. The earlier reported intensity-dependent changes at 410 and 570 nm are explained by parallel increases in two of the rate constants, for ...
