摘要: The transfer of a proton from the retinal Schiff base to nearby Asp85 protein group is an essential step in directional proton-pumping by bacteriorhodopsin. To avoid wasteful back reprotonation Asp85, must ensure that, following deprotonation, energy barrier for proton-transfer larger than that Asp85. Here, three structural elements may contribute suppressing are investigated: (i) twisting; (ii) hydrogen-bonding distances active site; and (iii) number location internal water molecules. impact pattern bond twisting on deprotonation dissected performing extensive set quantum-mechanical calculations. Structural rearrangements site, such as changes Thr89:Asp85 distance relocation molecules acceptor group, participate mechanism which ensures proceeds with subsequent photocycle steps, not base.
