Abstract excerpt
Difference FTIR spectra in the conversion of rhodopsin or isorhodopsin to bathorhodopsin were recorded for recombinant wild-type and E113Q bovine rhodopsins. Differences in various vibrational modes between E113Q and the wild-type proteins whose Schiff bases interact with chloride and Glu113, respectively, were analyzed. Water molecules in rhodopsin that change upon formation of bathorhodopsin are detected by a...
