Structural basis for the prolonged photocycle of sensory rhodopsin II revealed by serial synchrotron crystallography

Abstract Microbial rhodopsins form a diverse family of light-sensitive seven-transmembrane helix retinal proteins that function as active proton or ion pumps, passive light-gated ion channels, and photosensors. To understand how light-sensing in archaea is initiated by sensory rhodopsins, we perform...
