Abstract excerpt
Heterogeneity in the state of bacteriorhodopsin in purple membrane was studied through temperature jump experiments carried out in darkness and under illumination with visible light. The thermal denaturation, the irreversible component of spectral change at high temperature, had two decay components, suggesting that bacteriorhodopsin in purple membrane has heterogeneous stability. The temperature dependence of...
