Solid-state NMR for the characterization of retinal chromophore and Schiff base in TAT rhodopsin embedded in membranes under weakly acidic conditions

TAT rhodopsin extracted from the marine bacterium SAR11 HIMB114 has a characteristic Thr-Ala-Thr motif and contains both protonated and deprotonated states of Schiff base at physiological pH conditions due to the low pKa. Here, using solid-state NMR spectroscopy, we investigated the 13C and 15N NMR...
