Abstract

Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is a light-harvesting energy-transducing pigment so far found only in Halobacterium halobium, prokaryotes that occur in natural brines where the NaCl concentration is at or near saturation.1 Its chromophore, retinal (vitamin A aldehyde), is bound via protonated Schiff base linkage to the e group of a lysine-216 residue in the 26,000-mol wt. protein.2
