Abstract excerpt
The changes in the photocycle of the wild type and several mutant bacteriorhodopsin (D96N, E204Q, and D212N) were studied on dried samples, at relative humidities of 100% and 50%. Samples were prepared from suspensions at pH approximately 5 and at pH approximately 9. Intermediate M with unprotona...
