Bacteriorhodopsin: a light-driven proton pump in Halobacterium Halobium.
TL;DR: The proton pumping of the purple membrane suggests that bacteriorhodopsin undergoes a light-induced cyclic reaction involving a proton release on one side of the membrane and proton uptake on the opposite side, suggesting a chemiosmotic mechanism for energy transduction.

Journal ArticleDOI
The Photocycle of a Flavin-binding Domain of the Blue Light Photoreceptor Phototropin
Trevor E. Swartz,Stephanie B. Corchnoy,John M. Christie,James W. Lewis,Istvan Szundi,Winslow R. Briggs,Roberto A. Bogomolni +6 more
TL;DR: It has been shown that the metastable species is likely a flavin-cysteine (Cys39 thiol) adduct at the flavin C(4a) position, and Titrations of LOV2 using chromophore fluorescence as an indicator suggest that Cys39 exists as a thiolate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unique gold nanoparticle aggregates as a highly active surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrate
Adam M. Schwartzberg,Christian D. Grant,Abraham Wolcott,Chad E. Talley,Thomas R Huser,Roberto A. Bogomolni,Jin Z. Zhang +6 more
TL;DR: A unique gold nanoparticle aggregate (GNA) system has been shown to be an excellent substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications as mentioned in this paper, which has yielded a large SERS enhancement of 107−109 in bulk solution for R6G, on par with or greater than any previously reported gold SERS substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of colour discrimination by a bacterial sensory rhodopsin.
TL;DR: A photosensitive protein resembling the visual pigments of invertebrates enables phototactic archaebacteria to distinguish colour and makes evident a colour-sensing capability inherent in the retinal/protein chromophore.
