Thermodynamic parameters of anion binding to halorhodopsin from Natronomonas pharaonis by isothermal titration calorimetry.

Abstract excerpt

Halorhodopsin (HR), an inwardly directed, light-driven anion pump, is a membrane protein in halobacterial cells that contains the chromophore retinal, which binds to a specific lysine residue forming the Schiff base. An anion binds to the extracellular binding site near the Schiff base, and illumination makes this anion go to the intracellular channel, followed by its release from the protein and re-uptake from...
