Abstract
Fast electric signals corresponding to bR→K, K→L andL→M transitions in the bacteriorhodopsin photocycle were measured in cases of oriented purple membranes in solution and dried samples. In the latter case the effect of external electric field was to increase (positive field) or decrease (negative field) the transition lifetimes. Based on the existing data in visible, UV, Raman spectroscopy and electric signal a model of the bacteriorhodopsin proton pump was constructed.
