Abstract
Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is solubilized efficiently as a monomer by a novel surfactant, a tripod amphiphile (TPA), which permits the formation of purple hexagonal bR crystals under several conditions. The crystals, although small, diffract to 2.5 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. TPA may be useful for the solubilization, purification, and crystallization of other membrane proteins.Entities:
