Internal Proton Transfer in the Activation of Heliorhodopsin.

Abstract excerpt

Heliorhodopsin (HeR), a recently discovered new rhodopsin family, contains a single counterion of the protonated Schiff base, E108 in HeR from Thermoplasmatales archaeon SG8-52-1 (TaHeR). Upon light absorption, the M and O intermediates form in HeRs, as well as type-1 microbial rhodopsins, indicating that the proton transfer from the Schiff base leads to the activation of HeRs. The present flash photolysis study...
