To aid in the identification of the bands that change in these various species, the FTIR spectra of the free amino acids Tyr-í/0, Tyr-d2 (2H at positions ortho to OH), and Tyr-dA (2H at positions ortho and meta to OH) were measured in H20 and D20 at low and high pH. The characteristicfrequencies of the Tyr species obtained in this manner were then used to identify the changes in protonation state of the tyrosine residues in the various bacteriorhodopsin species. The two diagnostically most useful bands were the~ 1480-cm-1 band of Tyr (OH)-¿ 2 and the~ 1277-cm_1 band of Tyr (O~)-Bacteriorhodopsin (BR) 1 is the sole protein contained in the purple membrane from the bacteria Halobacterium halobium. It has been the focus of intense investigation primarily because it functions as a light-activated proton pump, an event that takes place upon the isomerization of retinal. The potential difference that occurs as a result of proton pumping provides the energy for the synthesis of ATP. Synthetic vesicles in-corporating BR protein along with ATPase are seen to produce ATP in thepresence of ADP and inorganic phosphate upon illumination, thus supporting the chemiosmptic hypothesis of
