Abstract excerpt
Numerous fungal genomes encode homologs of bacteriorhodopsin (BR), but only two fungal rhodopsins were overexpressed and characterized spectroscopically. Neurospora rhodopsin (NR) is a slow-cycling sensory rhodopsin-like protein, while Leptosphaeria rhodopsin (LR) is a BR-like proton pump. Recent...
