Abstract
The quantum yield of the primary photoreaction of HR578 was determined as øgreen = 0.34±0.02 and that of the photochemical reconversion of HRL410 into HR578 as øblue = 0.01±0.004. From steady-state illumination and flash-photolysis experiments, a quantitative description of HRL410 formation and decay was made leading to a model of the photocycle in isolated, light-adapted HR. This model satisfies all known facts about HR including its photochromic behaviour.
Keywords: halorhodopsin, photocycle, light-driven chloride pump, regulation
