| Abstract | The x-ray diffraction structure of the non-illuminated D96A bacteriorhodopsin mutant reveals structural changes as far away as 15 Å from residue 96, at the retinal, Trp-182, Ala-215, and waters 501, 402, and 401. The Asp-to-Ala side-chain replacement breaks its hydrogen-bond with Thr-46, and the resulting separation of the cytoplasmic ends of helices B and C is communicated to the retinal region through a chain of covalent and hydrogen-bonds. The unexpected long-range consequences of the D96A mutation include breaking the hydrogen bond between O of Ala-215 and water 501, and formation of a new hydrogen-bond between water molecules 401 and 402 in the extracellular region. Because in the T46V mutant a new water molecule appears at Asp-96 and its hydrogen-bond to Ile-45 replaces Thr-46 as its link to helix B, the separation of helices B and C is smaller than in D96A and there are no atomic displacements elsewhere in the protein. Propagation of conformational changes along the chain between the retinal and Thr-46 had been observed earlier in the crystal structures of the D96N and E204Q mutants, but in the trapped M state. Consistent with perturbation of the retinal region in D96A, little change of the Thr-46 region occurs between the non-illuminated and M states of this mutant. It appears that a local perturbation can propagate along a “track” in both directions between the retinal and the Asp-96/Thr-46 pair, either from photoisomerization of the retinal in the wild-type protein in one case or from the D96A mutation in the other. |

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.
