Amino acid sequence of bacteriorhodopsin.
Abstract
The complete primary structure of the purple membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin, which contains 248 amino acid residues, has been determined. Methods used for separation of the hydrophobic fragments included gel permeation and reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography in organic solvents. The amino acid sequence was determined by a combination of automatic Edman degradation and mass spectrometric methods. The total sequence was derived …
