Protonation state of Asp (Glu)-85 regulates the purple-to-blue transition in bacteriorhodopsin mutants Arg-82----Ala and Asp-85----Glu: the blue form is inactive in proton translocation.

Previous studies with site-specific mutants of bacteriorhodopsin have demonstrated that replacement of Asp-85 or Arg-82 affects the absorption spectrum. Between pH 5.5 and 7, the Asp-85----Glu and Arg-82----Ala mutants exist in a pH-dependent equilibrium between purple (lambda max approximately 550/...
