Engineering and Production of the Light-Driven Proton Pump Bacteriorhodopsin in 2D Crystals for Basic Research and Applied Technologies

The light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin (BR) from the extreme halophilic archaeon <i>Halobacterium salinarum</i> is a retinal-binding protein, which forms highly ordered and thermally stable 2D crystals in native membranes (termed purple membranes). BR and purple membranes (PMs) h...
