structure and mechanism of a light-gated cation channel [PDF]

, 2014
The new and vibrant field of optogenetics was founded by the seminal discovery of channelrhodopsin, the first light-gated cation channel. Despite the numerous applications that have revolutionised neurophysiology, the functional mechanism is far from ...

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 ...

Diversity and Evolution of Sensor Histidine Kinases in Eukaryotes [PDF]

, 2019
Histidine kinases (HKs) are primary sensor proteins that act in cell signaling pathways generically referred to as "two component systems" (TCSs). TCSs are among the most widely distributed transduction systems used by both prokaryotic and eukaryotic ...

GRKs and arrestins: Nomenclature and functions in GPCR‐dependent and ‐independent signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 11, Page 2619-2633, June 2026.
G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) and arrestins play a critical role in the regulation of GPCR signalling. Historic names of mammalian GRKs were replaced by systematic ones in the 1990s; however, both kinds of names are currently in use for mammalian arrestins.

Metagenomic Insights into the Phylogenetic and Metabolic Diversity of the Prokaryotic Community Dwelling in Hypersaline Soils from the Odiel Saltmarshes (SW Spain) [PDF]

, 2018
Hypersaline environments encompass aquatic and terrestrial habitats. While only a limited number of studies on the microbial diversity of saline soils have been carried out, hypersaline lakes and marine salterns have been thoroughly investigated ...

Meniscus‐Mediated Imaging of Soft Biological Membranes Using 200 kN/m Ultra‐Stiff 15 MHz MEMS AFM Probes

Journal of Molecular Recognition, Volume 39, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Coronaviruses, among other membrane‐enveloped viruses, can remain infectious on surfaces in ambient air for days. Many bacteria and fungi also expose their plasma membranes to air environments. Key survival strategies in air include hydrophobic coatings to prevent water loss and waxy or silica‐based resistant cell walls.

Chromophore equilibria in bacteriorhodopsin

Biophysical Journal, 1979
An investigation of the dark equilibria between different chromophores of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) and studies of the kinetics of their interconversion and photochemical activity have led to the following conclusions. (a) A component of the 605-nm chromophore of BR decays in the millisecond range and is likely to be identical to the intermediate O of the
