Abstract excerpt

The structure and the photocycle of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) containing 13-cis,15-syn retinal, so-called bR548, has been studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations performed on the complete protein. The simulated structure of bR548 was obtained through isomerization of in situ retinal aroun...
