Abstract
Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is a retinal-binding protein in the purple membrane of Halobacteria, where it acts as a light-driven proton pump. On excitation, bR’s retinylidene chromophore, BR-570, runs through a cyclic reaction with several intermediate states (K, L, M, N, O) [1]. However, little is known about the chromophore-protein interaction at the various stages of the cycle.
