ABSTRACT
By using factor analysis and decomposition, bacteriorhodopsin's intramolecular reactions have been assigned to photocycle intermediates. Independent of specific kinetic models, the pure BR-L, BR-M, BR-N, and BR-O difference spectra were calculated by analyzing simultaneously two different measurements in the visible and infrared spectral region performed at pH 6.5, 298 K, 1 M KCl, and pH 7.5, 288 K, 1 M KCl. Even though after M formation L, M, N, and O intermediates kinetically overlap under physiological conditions, their pure spectra have been separated by this analysis in contrast to other approaches at which unphysiological conditions or mutants have been used or specific photocycle models have been assumed. The results now provide a set reference spectra for further studies. The following conclusions for physiologically relevant reactions are drawn: (a) the catalytic proton release binding site, asp 85, is protonated in the L to M transition and remains protonated in the intermediates N and O; (b) the catalytic proton uptake binding site asp 96 is deprotonated in the M to N transition and already reprotonated in the N to O transition; (c) proton transfer between asp 96 and the Schiff base is facilitated by backbone movements of a few peptide carbonyl groups in the M to N transition.
