title = "Energetics and chronology of phototransients in the light response of the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium",
abstract = "Arrhenius parameters for formation and decay of phototransients in suspensions of purple membrane fragments in H2O and 2H2O have been determined in the temperature range 0-60 °C. Kinetic isotope effects are found which show that proton transfer steps are involved in both formation and decay of the two longest-lived transients absorbing at 410 nm and 660 nm, respectively. The results also suggest that these transients do not occupy a single pathway in the spontaneous deexcitation of bacteriorhodopsin within the purple membrane. Purple membrane undergoes a phase transition at 25-30 °C in both H2O and 2H2O.",
