摘 要:正 Cubic Lipid Phase (CLP): The CLP method for membrane protein crystallization has been refined to allow large-scale screening of various membrane proteins. The various parameters (CLP lipid, water content, bilayer lipid additive, pH, ionic strength, precipitating agent etc.) can be varied. Three distinct seven-transmembrane proteins where crystallized and their structures *** (BR): High-resolution maps from X-ray diffraction of bacteriorhodopsin crystal obtained in CLP and some of its photointermediates have yielded insights to how the isomerization of the bound retinal drives ion transport.
