Abstract excerpt
The study of light-induced proton transfers in the archaeal sensory rhodopsins (SR), phototaxis receptors in Halobacterium salinarum, has contributed important insights into their mechanism of signaling to their cognate transducer subunits in the signaling complex. Essential features of the bacteriorhodopsin (BR) pumping mechanism have been conserved in the evolution of the sensors, which carry out light-driven...
