Abstract excerpt
Proteorhodopsin (PR) is a light-driven proton pump found in marine bacteria. Thousands of PRs are classified into blue-absorbing (λ(max) ~ 490 nm) and green-absorbing (λ(max) ~ 525 nm) PR, and the color determinant is known to be at position 105, where blue-absorbing and green-absorbing PR possess Gln and Leu, respectively.
