Descrizione

Descrizione generale

Bacteriorhodopsin is the prototypical "seven-helix" transmembrane protein (with seven α-helical domains), whose study led to advances in understanding G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In Halobacteria, it acts as a light-harvesting protein, producing a proton gradient across the cell wall that is then used to drive biosynthetic processes.

Applicazioni

Bacteriorhodopsin is of interest in the development of artificial retinas, optical associative processors, and three-dimensional memory storage devices.

The mutant D96N is useful for a wide range of data-storage and information processing applications, due the extended relaxation time.

Azioni biochim/fisiol

A transmembrane retinylidine protein that functions as a proton pump driven by light energy in Holobacterium.

Stato fisico

Isolated from Halobacterium salinarum sp. L33 as Purple Membranes

Nota sulla preparazione
