The preparation and photochemical properties of dried deionized blue membrane (dIbR600;λmax≈600nm, ϵ≈54, 760cm−1M−1, f≈1.1) in polyvinyl alcohol films are studied. Reversible photoconversion from dIbR600to the pink membrane (dIbR485;λmax≈485nm) is shown to occur in these films under conditions of strong 647-nm laser irradiation. The pink membrane analog, dIbR485, has a molar extinction coefficient of ∼39,000cm−1M−1(f≈1.2). The ratio of pink→blue and blue→pink quantum efficiencies is 33±5. We observe an additional blue-shifted species (dIbR455,λmax≈455nm) with a very low oscillator strength (f≈0.6, ϵ≈26,000cm−1M−1). This species is the product of fast thermal decay of dIbR485. Molecular modeling indicates that charge/charge and charge/dipole interactions introduced by the protonation of ASP85are responsible for lowering the excited-state all-trans→9-cisbarrier to ∼6kcal mol−1while increasing the corresponding all-trans→13-cisbarrier to ∼4kcal mol−1. Photochemical formation of both 9-cisand 13-cisphotoproducts are now competitive, as is observed experimentally. We suggest that dIbR455may be a 9-cis, 10-s-distorted species that partially divides the chromophore into two localized conjugated segments with a concomitant blue shift and decreased oscillator strength of theλmaxabsorption band.
