Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of bacteriorhodopsin at 1.55 A resolution.
Hartmut Luecke,Brigitte Schobert,Hans-Thomas Richter,Jean-Philippe Cartailler,Janos K. Lanyi +4 more
TL;DR: The results indicate extensive involvement of bound water molecules in both the structure and the function of this seven-helical membrane protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proton transfer pathways in bacteriorhodopsin at 2.3 angstrom resolution.
TL;DR: X-ray diffraction of bacteriorhodopsin crystals grown in cubic lipid phase revealed unexpected two-fold symmetries that indicate merohedral twinning along the crystallographic c axis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salt-dependent properties of proteins from extremely halophilic bacteria.
TL;DR: It is shown that some halophilic enzymes are unable to maintain their structure without the involvement of hydrophobic interactions that are usually not supported by water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Halorhodopsin is a light-driven chloride pump.
Brigitte Schobert,Janos K. Lanyi +1 more
TL;DR: Quantitative arguments from the present work rule out a significant role of sodium in the functioning of halorhodopsin, and suggest very strongly that it is an inward directed chloride pump.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural Changes in Bacteriorhodopsin During Ion Transport at 2 Angstrom Resolution
Hartmut Luecke,Brigitte Schobert,Hans-Thomas Richter,Jean-Philippe Cartailler,Janos K. Lanyi +4 more
TL;DR: Crystal structures of the Asp96 to Asn mutant of the light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin and its M photointermediate produced by illumination at ambient temperature have been determined to 1.8 and 2.0 angstroms resolution.
