Abstract excerpt
The present work studies the mechanism of light induced protein conformational changes in the over-expressed mutant of halorhodopsin (phR) from Natronomonas pharaonis. The catalytic effect of light is reflected in accelerating hydroxyl amine reaction rate of light adapted phR. Light catalysis was detected in native phR but also in artificial pigments derived from tailored retinal analogs locked at the crucial...
