Abstract excerpt
The effects of bacteriorhodopsin analogues and the analogues of a bacteriorhodopsin mutant (D96N) on the lateral organization of lipids have been investigated with lipid species with a variety of acyl chain lengths. The analogues, obtained by regeneration of bacterioopsin or mutant opsin with 14-, 12-, 10-, or 8-fluororetinal, were reconstituted with 1,2-didodecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine,...
