Abstract excerpt
It was recently found that NOP-1, a membrane protein of Neurospora crassa, shows homology to haloarchaeal rhodopsins and binds retinal after heterologous expression in Pichia pastoris. We report on spectroscopic properties of the Neurospora rhodopsin (NR). The photocycle was studied with flash photolysis and time-resolved Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy in the pH range 5-8. Proton release and uptake...
