In this paper we characterize the mechanistic roles of the crystalline purple membrane (PM) lattice, the earliest bacteriorhodopsin (BR) photocycle intermediates, and divalent cations in the conversion of PM to laser-induced blue membrane (LIBM; λmax= 605 nm) upon irradiation with intense 532 nm pulses by contrasting the photoconversion of PM with that of monomeric BR solubilized in reduced Triton X-100 detergent. Monomeric BR forms a previously unreportedcolorless monomerphotoproduct which lacks a chromophore band in the visible region but manifests a new band centered near 360 nm similar to the 360 nm band in LIBM. The 360 nm band in both LIBM and colorless monomer originates from a Schiff base-reduced retinyl chromophore which remains covalently linked to bacterioopsin. Both the PM→LIBM and monomer→colorless monomer photoconversions are mediated by similar biphotonic mechanisms, indicating that the photochemistry is localized within single BR monomers and is not influenced by BR−BR interactions. The excessively large two-photon absorptivities (≥106cm4s molecule-1photon-1) of these photoconversions, the temporal and spectral characteristics of pulses which generate LIBM in high yield, and an action spectrum for the PM→LIBM photoconversion all indicate that the PM→LIBM and Mon→CMon photoconversions are both mediated by a sequential biphotonic mechanism in which is the intermediate which absorbs the second photon. The purple→blue color change results from subsequent conformational perturbations of the PM lattice which induce the removal of Ca2+and Mg2+ions from the PM surface.
