Physiological and Mechanistic Studies of Phototrophic Fe(II) Oxidation in Purple Non-sulfur Bacteria [PDF]
, 2007 Phototrophic Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria use electrons from ferrous iron [Fe(II)] and energy from light to drive reductive CO₂ fixation. This metabolism is thought to be ancient in origin, and plays an important role in environmental iron cycling. It has

Early picosecond events in the photo cycle of Bacteriorhodopsin [PDF]
, 1986 The primary processes of the photochemical cycle of light-adapted bacteriorhodopsin (BR) were studied by various experimental techniques with a time resolution of 5 × 10-13 s. The following results were obtained.

Immuno-atomic force microscopy of purple membrane
, 1996 The atomic force microscope is a useful tool for imaging native biological structures at high resolution. In analogy to conventional immunolabeling techniques, we have used antibodies directed against the C-terminus of bacteriorhodopsin to distinguish ...

Non-proton ion release in purple membrane
, 1994 Large conductivity changes have been measured during the photocycle of bacteriorhodopsin in purple membrane. These phenomena were explained as being due to the occurrence of large-scale non-proton ion release. Here we show that these conductivity changes
