Abstract excerpt
Electrogenic events in the E204Q bacteriorhodopsin mutant have been studied. A two-fold decrease in the magnitude of microsecond photovoltage generation coupled to M intermediate formation in the E204Q mutant is shown. This means that deprotonation of E204 is an electrogenic process and its elect...
