Description
Bacteriorhodopsin is a photosynthetic pigment used by archaea, most notably halobacteria. It acts as a proton pump, i.e. it captures light energy and uses it to move protons across the membrane out of the cell. The resulting proton gradient is subsequently converted into chemical energy.
Bacteriorhodopsin is an integral membrane protein.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Great!!!
I did not get the ebots of your uploads lol but this is cool looking
nice render. did you know that this is the ONLY known structure available for the whole family of GPCRs. GPCRs are thought to be the point of action of 60% of all pharmacuetical drugs? this model has massive pharmaceutical significance. Models built from this can inform progress! ;o)Tanc
Very kewl!! Love the reflections! Ps so sorry late w/commenting...hugs Shannon ;}
great info my friend. as long as it ain't dangerous who cares about the color.lol wtg steve!
Creatice image! And nice reflections!
