Abstract:
Incorporation of 9-cis-13-demethylretinal into bacterioopsin was shown to form the covalent purple complex. This result was predicted by our hypothesis about the structure of the BR chromophore cavity (Mol. Biologiya 29:1398-1407 (1995) (in Russian)). It supports the hypothesis and eliminates the main objection known from the literature.
