Abstract excerpt
The cytoplasmic surface of the BR (initial) state of bacteriorhodopsin is characterized by a cluster of three carboxylates that function as a proton-collecting antenna. Systematic replacement of most of the surface carboxylates indicated that the cluster is made of D104, E161, and E234 (Checover, S., Y. Marantz, E. Nachliel, M. Gutman, M. Pfeiffer, J. Tittor, D.
