Abstract excerpt
The lifetime of the M-state of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) is increased by genetic and chemical modifications and by solubilizing purple membranes (PMs) with detergent. Chemically modified D96E films as well as D96N films, possess close to 100% bleaching efficiency which makes them attractive for use as image storage media. The mutant S35C has spectral and kinetic properties identical to the WT, both in aqueous...
