Light-Induced Charge Redistribution in the Retinal Chromophore Is Required for Initiating the Bacteriorhodopsin Photocycle

Bacteriorhodopsin's photocycle is initiated by the retinal chromophore light absorption. It has usually been assumed that light primarily isomerizes a retinal double bond which in turn induces protein conformational alterations and biological activity. We have studied several artificial pigment...
