Formation of the two-dimensional hexagonal lattice of bacteriorhodopsin in reconstituted brown membrane.
The aggregation state of reconstituted bacteriorhodopsin molecules in the brown membrane has been investigated by X-ray diffraction and CD spectra. It has been confirmed that reconstituted bacteriorhodopsin molecules form the hexagonal lattice spontaneously whereas bacterioopsin molecules do not.
