Abstract excerpt
Glu194 is a residue located at the end of F helix on the extracellular side of the light-induced proton pump bacteriorhodopsin (BR). Currently, it is well recognized that Glu194 and Glu204 residues, along with water clusters, constitute the proton release group of BR. Here we report that the replacement of Glu194 for Gln affects not only the photocycle of the protein but also has tremendous effect on the...
