Abstract excerpt
The light-dark adaptation, photocycle kinetics, and acid-induced blue formation of the bacteriorhodopsin (bR) mutant Tyr-185-->Phe (Y185F) expressed in Halobacterium halobium have been investigated by both static and time-resolved visible absorption spectroscopy. Evidence is presented that a pH-dependent equilibrium exists between a bR570-like form (bRY185F570) and a red-shifted species in the light-adapted form...
