The bacteriorhodopsin branched-photocycle intermediates P and Q are studied with respect to chromophore isomeric content, photochemical origin, kinetic heterogeneity, and photoreversibility. These blue-shifted species are compared to products with similar spectroscopic properties generated via thermal denaturation. We observe that the thermal and photochemical species differ in both isomeric content and binding site environment. Sequential two-photon activation of glycerol suspensions of bacteriorhodopsin containing low concentrations of water (
