Bacteriorhodopsin is a light-activated proton pump found in archaea and some single-celled
eukaryotes (Findlay and Pappin, 1986; Sharma et al., 2006; Spudich et al., 2000). This protein
adopts the 7TM fold found used by all type I and type II rhodopsins. In previous work, we used
bacteriorhodopsin from Haloterrigena turkmenica to demonstrate that substantially altered
protein folds exhibit light-activated proton pumping (Kamo et al., 2006; ...
