Abstract excerpt
The photoreaction of the E194Q mutant of bacteriorhodopsin has been investigated at various pH values by time-resolved step-scan Fourier-transform infrared difference spectroscopy employing the attenuated total reflection technique. The difference spectrum at pH 8.4 is comparable to the N-BR difference spectra of the wild type with the remarkable exception that D85 is deprotonated. Since the retinal configuration...
