Abstract excerpt
Substitution of glutamic acid-194, a residue on the extracellular surface of bacteriorhodopsin, with a cysteine inhibits the fast light-induced proton release that normally is coupled with the deprotonation of the Schiff base during the L to M transition. Proton release in this mutant occurs at the very end of the photocycle and coincides with deprotonation of the primary proton acceptor, Asp-85, during the O to...
