Distorted structure of the retinal chromophore in bacteriorhodopsin resolved by 2H-NMR.
Structural details about the geometry of the retinal chromophore in the binding pocket of bacteriorhodopsin are revealed by measuring the orientations of its individual methyl groups. Solid-state 2H-NMR measurements were performed on macroscopically oriented samples of purple membrane patches, conta...
