Abstract excerpt
We have recorded 13C NMR spectra of [3-13C]-, [1-13C]Ala-, and [1-13C]Val-labeled bacteriorhodopsin (bR), W80L and W12L mutants and bacterio-opsin (bO) from retinal-deficient E1001 strain, in order to examine the possibility of their millisecond to microsecond local fluctuations with correlation time in the order of 10(-4) to 10(-5) s, induced or prevented by disruption or assembly of two-dimensional (2D)...
