Characterization and photochemistry of 13-desmethyl bacteriorhodopsin
Article Abstract:
The photochemistry of the 13-desmethyl analogue of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) is examined by using spectroscopy, molecular orbital theory, and chromophore extraction followed by conformational analysis. The removal of the 13-methyl group permits the direct photochemical formation of a thermally stable, photochemically reversible state, which could be generated efficiently by exciting the resting state with yellow or red light.

Biomolecular electronics: protein-based associative processors and volumetric memories
Article Abstract:
The application of bacteriorhodopsin has been investigated in a holographic associative memory that uses the real-time holographic capabilities of protein thin films and in a three-dimensional memory that uses an unusual branching reaction within the photocycle.

Evaluation of blue and green absorbing proteorhodopsins as holographic materials
Article Abstract:
Transient diffractive holography is seen for the green (GPR) and blue (BPR) absorbing proteorhodopsins. Four types of PR are evaluated, including the wild-type green and blue proteins and their long M-state variants, GPR E108Q and BPR E110Q.
