The effects of high pressure upon the absorption spectra and isomeric composition of the dark (bRD) and light adapted (bRL) forms of bacteriorhodopsin were examined. Pressure favors the 13-cis form of bacteriorhodopsin (bR13-cis). The equilibrium isomeric composition and absorption spectra of bacteriorhodopsin samples at a given pressure were the same starting from either light or dark adapted bacteriorhodopsin. From the effect of pressure on the equilibrium constant between bRall-trans in equilibrium bR13-cis in the dark, the molar volume change between bRall-trans and bR13-cis was found to be -7.8 +/- 3.2 ml/mol. This volume change suggests a difference in conformation between dark- and light-adapted bacteriorhodopsin, but the magnitude of the change is small, involving only a small number of the protein residues.
研究了高压对细菌视紫红质暗适应形式(bRD)和光适应形式(bRL)的吸收光谱及异构体组成的影响。压力有利于细菌视紫红质的13-顺式形式(bR13-cis)。在给定压力下,无论起始于光适应还是暗适应的细菌视紫红质,其平衡异构体组成和吸收光谱都是相同的。根据压力对暗处bR全反式与bR13-顺式平衡常数的影响,发现bR全反式与bR13-顺式之间的摩尔体积变化为-7.8±3.2 ml/mol。这种体积变化表明暗适应和光适应的细菌视紫红质在构象上存在差异,但变化幅度较小,仅涉及少数蛋白质残基。
