FTIR study of light-induced proton transfer and Ca2+ binding in T82D mutant of TAT rhodopsin.

Abstract excerpt

Proton transfer reactions play important functional roles in many proteins, such as enzymes and transporters, which is also the case in rhodopsins. In fact, functional expression of rhodopsins accompanies intramolecular proton transfer reactions in many cases. One of the exceptional cases can be seen in the protonated form of marine bacterial TAT rhodopsin, which isomerizes the retinal by light but returns to the...
