Description

Cover of the Journal of Molecular Biology. The D85S mutant is unique in that its point mutation resulting in the loss of the Schiff Base counterion allows it to pump anions in a direction opposite of proton flow in native BR.

Crystal structure of the D85S mutant of bacteriorhodopsin: model of an O-like photocycle intermediate. Rouhani S, Cartailler JP, Facciotti MT, Walian P, Needleman R, Lanyi JK, Glaeser RM, Luecke H. J Mol Biol. 2001 Oct 26;313(3):615-28.
