Volume and Enthalpy Changes of Proton Transfers in the Bacteriorhodopsin Photocycle Studied by Millisecond Time-Resolved Photopressure Measurements

Abstract: The volume and enthalpy changes associated with proton translocation steps during the bacteriorhodopsin (BR) photocycle were determined by time-resolved photopressure measurements. The data at 25 degrees C show a prompt increase in volume followed by two further increases and one decrease to the original state to complete the cycle. These volume changes are decomposed into enthalpy and inherent volume changes. The positive enthalpy changes support the argument for inherent entropy-driven late steps in the BR p… Show more

“…The phenomenon of PPT is widely observed in natural systems, such as in bacteriorhodopsin . In recent times, artificial PPT processes, as observed in photoacid/dye systems, have been utilized in the fabrication of light-responsive color-switching materials. , Visible light serves as the input, transforming a conventional acid-initiated chemical process into a controllable photochemical reaction without the need for additional chemicals, while exhibiting excellent reversibility .…”

“…Recently, using photothermal beam deflection techniques the enthalpies of PS II water oxidation were reported [94]. Using a novel photopressure cell that enables one to obtain the volume and enthalpy changes on the microsecond to second time scales [21], the thermodynamic parameter of reactions involved in PS II oxygen evolution might be determined.…”
