Bacteriorhodopsin: the effect of bilayer thickness on 2D-array formation, and the structural re-alignment of retinal through the photocycle.

From our earlier extensive protein-lipid reconstitution studies, the conditions under which bacteriorhodopsin forms organised 2D arrays in large unilamellar vesicles have been established using freeze-fracture electron microscopy. In a background bilayer matrix of phosphatidylcholine (diC(14:0)), th...
