Structure of a retinal chromophore of dark-adapted middle rhodopsin as studied by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Middle rhodopsin (MR) found from the archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi is evolutionarily located between two different types of rhodopsins, bacteriorhodopsin (BR) and sensory rhodopsin II (SRII). Some isomers of the chromophore retinal and the photochemical reaction of MR are markedly different from th...
