13C NMR spectra of lyophilized dark-adapted [14-13C]retinyl-labeled bacteriorhodopsin [Halobacterium halobium] show a large anomalous upfield shift for the 13C-14 resonance assigned to the 13-cis isomer, relative to the all-trans isomer and model compounds. This is attributed to the .gamma. effect, which results from a steric interaction between the C-14 retinal proton and the protons on the .epsilon. CH2 of the lysine. Dark-adapted bacteriorhodopsin is thus apparently composed of a mixture of all-trans,15-anti (trans or E) and 13-cis,15-syn (cis or Z) isomers. These occur in an .apprx. 4:6 ratio and are commonly identified as bR568 and bR548. This conclusion is based on an examination of the isotropic and anisotropic chemical shifts and a comparison with 13C shifts of the C adjacent to the C.dbd.N linkage in protonated ketimines. Other possible origins for the anomalous shift are examined and shown to be insufficient to account for the size of the shift or the nature of the shift tensor. The consequences of this finding for the structure and photochemistry of bacteriorhodopsin are discussed.
