Abstract excerpt

At high ionic strength, the pH dependence of the M intermediate decay in a photocycle of the D96N mutant bacteriorhodopsin shows a complicated behavior which is found to be due to the coexistence of two pathways of the M conversion. The M decay which dominates at pH < 5 is coupled to the proton u...
