Lateral coupling and cooperative dynamics in the function of the native membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin
Membrane proteins are laterally coupled to the surrounding cell membrane through complex interactions that can modulate their function. Here, we directly observe and quantify the dynamics of functioning bacteriorhodopsin (bR) in its native membrane, a crystalline aggregate of bR trimers. We show tha...
