Abstract excerpt
Glutaraldehyde treatment leads to the inhibition (i) of the M intermediate decay in wild-type bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and (ii) of the azide-facilitated M decay in the D96N mutant bR. LuCl3 is shown to be a more potent inhibitor of both processes. Glycerol and sucrose are also inhibitors. None of these agents change the linearity of the azide concentration dependency of the M decay in the D96N mutant but they do...
