Abstract excerpt
Fourier-transform infrared difference spectroscopy has been used to study the role of the three membrane-embedded proline residues, Pro-50, Pro-91, and Pro-186, in the structure and function of bacteriorhodopsin. All three prolines were replaced by alanine and glycine; in addition, Pro-186 was changed to valine. Difference spectra were recorded for the bR----K and bR----M photoreactions of each of these mutants...
