| Abstract | The role of the extracellular Glu side chains of bacteriorhodopsin in the proton transport mechanism has been studied using the single mutants E9Q, E74Q, E194Q, and E204Q; the triple mutant E9Q/E194Q/E204Q; and the quadruple mutant E9Q/E74Q/E194Q/E204Q. Steady-state difference and deconvoluted Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has been applied to analyze the M- and N-like intermediates in membrane films maintained at a controlled humidity, at 243 and 277 K at alkaline pH. The mutants E9Q and E74Q gave spectra similar to that of wild type, whereas E194Q, E9Q/E194Q/E204Q, and E9Q/E74Q/E194Q/E204Q showed at 277 K a N-like intermediate with a single negative peak at 1742 cm(-1), indicating that Asp(85) and Asp(96) are deprotonated. Under the same conditions E204Q showed a positive peak at 1762 cm(-1) and a negative peak at 1742 cm(-1), revealing the presence of protonated Asp(85) (in an M intermediate environment) and deprotonated Asp(96). These results indicate that in E194Q-containing mutants, the second increase in the Asp(85) pK(a) is inhibited because of lack of deprotonation of the proton release group. Our data suggest that Glu(194) is the group that controls the pK(a) of Asp(85). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
