Lipid-protein stoichiometries in a crystalline biological membrane: NMR quantitative analysis of the lipid extract of the purple membrane

The lipid/protein stoichiometries of a naturally crystalline biological membrane, the purple membrane (PM) of Halobacterium salinarum, have been obtained by a combination of 31P- and 1H-NMR analyses of the lipid extract. In total, 10 lipid molecules per retinal were found to be present in the PM lip...
