  • Title: Reconstitution of bacteriorhodopsin into cyclic lipid vesicles.
    Author: Shibakami M, Tsuihiji H, Miyoshi S, Nakamura M, Goto R, Mitaku S, Sonoyama M.
    Journal: Biosci Biotechnol Biochem; 2008 Jun; 72(6):1623-5. PubMed ID: 18540084.
    Abstract:
    Bacteriorhodopsin (bR), a membrane protein that can generate a light-driven proton pump, was successfully reconstituted into vesicles composed of an artificial cyclic lipid that mimics archaeal membrane lipids. Unlike reconstituted bR in 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine vesicles, the net topology and structure of bR molecules in cyclic lipid vesicles are identical to those in the native purple membrane of Halobacterium salinarum.
