Abstract excerpt
Sensory rhodopsin I (SRI) from Halobacterium salinarum mediates both positive and negative phototaxis in a light-dependent manner. SRI photoactivation elicits extensive structural changes which are transmitted to the cognate transducer (HtrI). The atomic structure of the SRI-HtrI complex has not been solved yet and, therefore, details on the interaction which define the binding site between receptor and...
