説明

The denaturation kinetics of bacteriorhodopsin induced by light irradiation was measured in the temperature range between 80 and 86°C, which was just above the melting point of the two-dimensional crystal composed of bacteriorhodopsin molecules in the purple membrane. Bacteriorhodopsin was stable in the dark but gradually denatured under the irradiation of visible light longer than 520, nm. Analyzing the time course of the light-induced denaturation phenomenon, the kinetic constant of the denaturation from a photointermediate state was estimated. The temperature dependence of the kinetic constant lead to the effective activation energy of about 41, kcal/mol. The stability of a photointermediate state was discussed on the basis of the light-induced denaturation behavior.
