Voltage Dependence of Proton Pumping by Bacteriorhodopsin Mutants with Altered Lifetime of the M Intermediate
The light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin (BR) from Halobacterium salinarum is tightly regulated by the [H(+)] gradient and transmembrane potential. BR exhibits optoelectric properties, since spectral changes during the photocycle are kinetically controlled by voltage, which predestines BR for optical storage or processing devices. BR mutants with prolonged lifetime of the blue-shifted M i...
متن کاملS4-based voltage sensors have three major conformations.
Voltage sensors containing the charged S4 membrane segment display a gating charge vs. voltage (Q-V) curve that depends on the initial voltage. The voltage-dependent phosphatase (Ci-VSP), which does not have a conducting pore, shows the same phenomenon and the Q-V recorded with a depolarized initial voltage is more stable by at least 3RT. The leftward shift of the Q-V curve under prolonged depo...
متن کاملRaman spectroscopic investigation of gramicidin A' conformations.
Gramicidin A' is believed to form transmembrane channels in lipid bilayers and biological membranes. The first Raman spectroscopic study of gramicidin A' is presented. Evidence is found for two types of conformation. One type is found in the powder and has a Raman spectrum similar to that of model polypeptides with beta hydrogen bonding. The second type is found when gramicidin A' is dissolved ...
متن کاملInterference Two-Way Relay Channel with Three End-nodes
In this paper, we study a communication system consisting of three end-nodes, e.g. a single transceiver base station (BS), one transmitting and one receiving user equipments (UEs), and a common two-way relay node (RN) wherein the full-duplex BS transmits to the receiving UE in downlink direction and receives from the transmitting UE in uplink direction with the help of the intermediate full-dup...
متن کاملBounds for Multiple-Access Relay Channels with Feedback via Two-way Relay Channel
In this study, we introduce a new two-way relay channel and obtain an inner bound and an outer bound for the discrete and memoryless multiple access relay channels with receiver-source feedback via two-way relay channel in which end nodes exchange signals by a relay node. And we extend these results to the Gaussian case. By numerical computing, we show that our inner bound is the same with o...
