Abstract excerpt
Changes in the FTIR difference spectra upon photoconversion of the M intermediate to its photoproduct(s) M' were studied in wild-type bacteriorhodopsin and several mutants at low temperatures. The studies aimed at examining whether internally bound water molecules interact with the chromophore and the key residues Asp85 and Asp96 in M, and whether these water molecules participate in the reprotonation of the...
