Description
Bacteriorhodopsin is a photosynthetic pigment used by archaea, most notably halobacteria. It acts as a proton pump, i.e. it captures light energy and uses it to move protons across the membrane out of the cell. The resulting proton gradient is subsequently converted into chemical energy.
Bacteriorhodopsin is an integral membrane protein.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
