Archaeal Proteins Categories.
 |
Bacteriorhodopsins - Rhodopsins found in the PURPLE MEMBRANE of halophilic archaea such as HALOBACTERIUM HALOBIUM. Bacteriorhodopsins function as an energy transducers, coverting light energy into electrochemical energy via PROTON PUMPS. |
|
Halorhodopsins - Light driven chloride ion pumps that are ubiquitously found in halophilic archaea (HALOBACTERIALES). |
|
Periplasmic Proteins - Proteins found in the PERIPLASM of organisms with cell walls. |
