Bacteriorhodopsin - the movie

Article Abstract:

Issues are presented concerning the research which has been conducted into the mechanism of a microbial proton pump which moves protons out of cells and enables the cells to have enough energy to survive.

Helix deformation is coupled to vectorial proton transport in the photocycle of bacteriorhodopsin

Article Abstract:

Research is presented concerning the changes in structure which occur in the photocycle of bacteriorhodopsin immediately prior to the primary proton transfer event.

Structural alterations for proton translocation in the M state of wild-type bacteriorhodopsin

Article Abstract:

Research is presented concerning the structure of the late M intermediate unperturbed proton pathway in the wild-type bacteriorhodopsin. The use of a water net to facilitate proton transfer is discussed.
