Effect of dehydration on photoinduced transformation in gelatin films made with 14-fluoro bacteriorhodopsin derivatives

Photoinduced transformation in gelatin films made with 14-fluoro bacteriorhodopsin derivatives, both wild-type (WT) and D96N mutant, were studied. Spectral and kinetic peculiarities for these two types of samples were compared over a wide range of relative humidity (9–92%). Analysis of the results considered two existing photoinduced processes that occur in suspensions and films of corresponding pigments. It was demonstrated that there is a range of humidity in which the performance of fluorine WT bacteriorhodopsin gelatin films may offer a technological advantage compared with fluorine D96N bacteriorhodopsin.     

嗜盐菌光敏蛋白的提纯方法

对近年来文献中关于嗜盐菌光敏蛋白的提纯方法进行了总结和比较.细菌视紫红质(bR)的提纯主要用凝胶色谱柱的方法,而另外两种感觉视紫红质(SRⅠ和SRⅡ)要依靠高水平的蛋白质表达技术,然后再用Ni亲和层析色谱的方法提纯.由于光敏蛋白是一类具有光活性的蛋白,获得既保持其光活性又具有高纯度的蛋白质晶体是件相当困难的事.     

An extended dead-end elimination algorithm to determine gap-free lists of low energy states

Proteins are flexible systems and commonly populate several functionally important states. To understand protein function, these states and their energies have to be identified. We introduce an algorithm that allows the determination of a gap-free list of the low energy states. This algorithm is based on the dead-end elimination (DEE) theorem and is termed X-DEE (extended DEE). X-DEE is applicable to discrete systems whose state energy can be formulated as pairwise interaction between sites and their intrinsic energies. In this article, the computational performance of X-DEE is analyzed and discussed. X-DEE is implemented to determine the lowest energy protonation states of proteins, a problem to which DEE has not been applied so far. We use X-DEE to calculate a list of low energy protonation states for two bacteriorhodopsin structures that represent the first proton transfer step of the bacteriorhodopsin photocycle.     

菌紫质同线偏振全息记录时再现光偏振方向对衍射效率的调制

当用相同偏振方向的物光和参考光在菌紫质薄膜上记录光栅时,再现光的偏振方向会影响其衍射效率.采用琼斯矩阵方法对此进行了理论分析,结果显示,再现光的偏振方向对衍射光的光强产生余弦调制;当再现光的偏振方向平行或垂直于记录光的偏振方向时,衍射光仍为线偏振光,其他情况下衍射光均变成椭圆偏振光.再现光偏振方向对衍射效率峰值的调制为正向余弦调制,对衍射效率稳定值的调制为反向余弦调制(与前者在相位上相差π).加入辅助紫光可抑制光栅的饱和,从而使得再现光偏振对衍射效率稳定值的调制由反向余弦调制变为正向余弦调制,并且提高了衍 关键词： 菌紫质 光致各向异性 衍射效率 琼斯矩阵     

细菌视紫红质的动态透射特性及其应用

细菌视紫红质 (Bacteriorhodopsin,简称 b R)是由嗜盐菌中提取出的一种光敏蛋白质 ,它是一种新型的生物光子学材料。我们测量的 b R膜在黄光和蓝光束分别照射下的非线性透射特性表明 ,在光照开始阶段 ,光的透过率随时间延长而增加 ,然后逐渐达到一个稳定值。黄光和蓝光的透过特性的不同是蓝光达到最大透过率的时间比黄光短。 b R膜在黄光和蓝光双光束同时照射下的非线性透射特性的计算结果表明 ,在某一固定蓝光光强 ,蓝光的透过光强随黄光强度的增加而减小 ,甚至变为零。这说明黄光对蓝光有抑制作用 ,即黄光可以调控蓝光的透过率。这一奇异的透射特性可以用做新出现事物滤波器     

Electron microscopic observation and rotational diffusion measurement of bacteriorhodopsin in lipid vesicles

The morphology of bacteriorhodopsin reconstituted into dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and egg-phosphatidylcholine vesicles was observed by freeze-fracture electron microscopy. The rotational diffusion of bacteriorhodopsin at different concentrations of melittin was measured by observing flash-induced transient dichroism in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles. In the presence of melittin, bacteriorhodopsin molecules in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles were aggregated into large particles or patches, and the ability of rotational diffusion of bacteriorhodopsin in vesicles was decreased. This suggests that melittin produces its effect via direct electrostatic interaction with bacteriorhodopsin. Low temperature-induced aggregation of bacteriorhodopsin was also observed in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles. Low temperature may cause phase separation. Bacteriorhodopsin was also successfully reconstituted into egg-phosphatidylcholine vesicles, but low temperature-induced aggregation of bacteriorhod
