Abstract excerpt
The hydration and dynamics of purple membranes (PM) containing the bacteriorhodopsin (BR) triple mutant D96G/F171C/F219L were investigated by neutron diffraction coupled with H(2)O/D(2)O exchange and by energy-resolved neutron scattering. The mutant, which is active in proton transport (Tittor et al. in J. Mol. Biol. 319:555-565, 2002), has an "open" ground-state structure similar to that of the M intermediate in...
