Nanosecond time-resolved absorption measurements on the photolysis products of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) in intact membranes are reported. At room temperature in fluid solution a single intermediate (KL) is seen 10 ns after excitation. Both spectral and kinetic results are consistent with the KL intermediate converting to the L intermediate by a single first order reaction. The observed temperature-dependent rate has the Arrhenius parameters: Ea=10.5 kcal/mol, A=5 x 10(13) s-1. The precursor to the KL intermediate is also observed. Its spectral character is consistent with the K intermediate which has been previously reported. The current data is consistent with a linear sequence in the BR photocycle for K, KL, and L in room temperature fluid solution. Differences in the spectral characteristics of the K intermediates described here and elsewhere are discussed in terms of differences in the microenvironment around the retinal moiety and the affect this may have on the conformation of the chromophore.
