Structure-Function Relationship of Retinal Proteins

Retinal proteins or rhodopsins belong to the superfamily of seven- transmembrane helical (7TM) proteins. Seven helices, with N-terminus on the extracellular side and C-terminus on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane (not necessarily G-protein coupled) A B C D E F G Structure of Retinal Proteins GPCRs

Retinal Proteins -- Rhodopsins Covalently linked to a lysine Usually protonated Schiff base all-trans and 11-cis isomers Chromophore

 The simplest ion pump in biology  The best characterized membrane protein  The simplest photosynthetic center  Technological applications in molecular electronics Bacteriorhodopsin -- bR  The first membrane protein with a known atomic-detail 3D structures
