Rhodopsin
Bacteriorhodopsin is found in archae. When hit by light and bound to a proton, the protein will undergo a conformational change and pump the proton out of the cell. This proton pump is used to create a gradient that can be used for things like ATP synthesis.
The protein has .
is at the center of the protein and is bound to the alpha helices. In bacterial rhodopsin, the retinal functions as a proton pump by a conformation from all trans to cis-13. The goes from cis to trans when the retinal is hit by light, and this change pumps protons out of the cell.
