| Method |
1st primary source: Researchers cloned a full-length opsin-cDNA from Acetabularia, expressed it in Xenopus oocytes, and studied the properties of the corresponding rhodopsin, Acetabularia rhodopsin (AR), by voltage-clamp techniques. During this study, AR turned out to be a light-driven H+ exporting pump. |
| Comments |
The light-saturated specific reaction rate of the overall reaction is ~7 s^-1 for the rhodopsin H+ pump (primary sources) and ~300 s^-1 for non-cyclic electron transport with associated proton pumps, expressed in terms of PSII reaction centres (Falkowski and Raven 2007). BNID 105051 |
