|
| Method |
The light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin occurs naturally as two-dimensional crystals. A three-dimensional density map of the structure, at near-atomic resolution, has been obtained by studying the crystals using electron cryo-microscopy to obtain electron diffraction patterns and high-resolution micrographs. |
| Comments |
the intramembrane cross-sectional dimensions (~38 Å × 23 Å ) are less than those of rhodopsin, corresponding to a cross-sectional area of AP ~ 690 Å^2 |
