Summary of the decay times of the intermediates of the two counterion mutants, recombinant rhodopsin (COS rho) and rhodopsin

Species Rhodopsin* (T = 12°C) COS rho (T = 20°C) E113D (T = 20°C) E113A/A117E (T = 10°C)
Batho → BSI 120 ns 100 ns  90 ns <20 ns
BSI → batho 160 ns 190 ns 440 ns
BSI → lumi 150 ns 190 ns 750 ns 190 ns
Lumi → BSI None None None 210 ns
Lumi → meta I-like 2.0 ms
meta I-like → lumi 2.9 ms

The estimated errors of the decay times are 20%.
