Bacteriorhodopsins

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Rhodopsins found in the PURPLE MEMBRANE of halophilic archaea such as HALOBACTERIUM HALOBIUM. Bacteriorhodopsins function as an energy transducers, converting light energy into electrochemical energy via PROTON PUMPS.  do not confuse with BACTERIAL RHODOPSINS see RHODOPSINS, MICROBIAL
