Abstract
At least four retinylidene-proteins have been discovered so far in the membrane of Halobacterium halobium. They are bacteriorhodopsin (BR), halorhodopsin (HR), sensory rhodopsin (SR) and phoborhodopsin (PR). The first to be discovered was bacteriorhodopsin (BR), which functions as a light-driven H -pump (for a review see [1]). On illumination, BR extrudes H from the inside to the outside and creates the so-called proton motive force, which is a driving force for ATP synthesis, transport of amino acids and other energy-requiring processes.
