We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
Bacteriorhodopsin
From Proteopedia
Bacteriorhodopsin (Br) is a membrane protein in Archaea which moves protons across the cell membrane. Br is composed of 6 α-helical elements each containing a retinal molecule. The retinal changes its conformation upon binding of a proton, causing the Br to change conformation and pump the proton.
