Reference no: EM13197096

Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein found in Halobacterium halobium that converts light energy into a transmembrane proton gradient that is used for ATP synthesis. After light is absorbed by the protein, the following initial reaction sequence occurs:

Br-------------------> J---------------> K

K1= 2.0 x 1012 s-1

K2 = 3.3 x 1011 s-1
