Purple membrane fragments isolated from the cell membrane of the photosynthetic bacteria Halobacterium halobium S.9 strain are incorporated into egg yolk phosphatidylcholine liposomes. Purple membrane contains crystalline patches of a retinal protein called bacteriorhodopsin. Upon illumination, bacteriorhodopsin undergoes a reversible photoreaction in which a proton is released on one side of the membrane and a proton is bound on the other side, thus resulting in an electro-chemical gradient across the membrane. The net rate of proton pumping is the combination of the rates of photoreaction and of simple diffusion of protons across the lipid membrane to compensate for the concentration difference between the two sides of the membrane. A mechanistic model is also proposed for the photoreaction which includes activation, proton dissociation, translocation and association reactions. Activation and translocation of bacteriorhodopsin are considered to be fast, but proton dissociation and association steps are considered to be slow. The resultant rate expression is compared with light on and light off experimental data. The model is in accordance with experimental data for initial pH values around 7.

Modelling of long-term photoresponse of bacteriorhodopsin immobilized on cellulose acetate membranes Sediroglu, V; Aydemir, A; Gündüz, Ufuk; Yucel, M; Turker, L; Eroglu, I (1996-05-01) Purple membrane fragments with its integrated protein bacteriorhodopsin were immobilized on lipid impregnated and lipid free cellulose acetate membranes. Two mathematical models were suggested to simulate the photoresponse curves of these membranes which were obtained by measuring the pH variation independently in each chamber of a specifically designed photoactivity cell for long periods of illumination. The first order model suggested was mainly based on the existence of light phase deprotonation and dark...
Immunomodulatory effects of commensal bacteria-derived membrane vesicles Alpdündar, Esin; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2013) Constitutive secretion of extracellular membrane vesicles is a common feature of cells from all domains of life including Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Although the contribution of gram negative bacterial outer membrane vesicles in disease pathogenesis has been extensively studied, whether commensal bacteria constitutively secrete such vesicles is still unknown. Given the importance of microbiota as regulators of immune homeostasis, we aimed to assess the immunomodulatory properties of extracellular vesic...
Design, synthesis, and characterization of potential self-sorting compounds through differential solvation Tekin, Gizem; Akdağ, Akın; Gökmen, Ali; Department of Chemistry (2016) DNA achieved its double helix form with the help of hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions. When the sequence of the DNA is examined, it is seen that the DNA bases are the most hydrophobic part, and therefore; they are located at the innermost part of the double helix to avoid interaction with water. This location also enables them to form hydrogen bonds with the complementary DNA base rather than forming them with water. The next part in the sequence is the sugars which have higher solubility in water co...
Optimization of internal tagging of inhibitory G-proteins for investigating their interactions with dopamine receptor D2 via fret method Özcan, Gizem; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Biochemistry (2016) G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large family of receptors which act by sensing the molecules outside the cell and start a signal transduction inside the cell through interacting with their associated G-proteins. This interaction results in activation or repression of related signaling pathways via associated secondary messengers. Dopamine receptor D2 (D2R) is a member of D2-like Dopamine Receptor group, which also belongs to the GPCR family. It is known that D2R has critical roles in emotio...
Visualization of interactions between fluorescently tagged g protein α11, α12/13 subtypes and adenosine 2a, dopamine 2 or homodimer adenosine 2a/2a receptors Kostromin, İrmak Begüm; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Department of Biology (2018) G-Protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) belong to one of the largest family of cell surface receptors, which transmit extracellular signals to intracellular responses by interacting with G- proteins. The G proteins are known as molecular switches that regulates different pathways via control of secondary messengers and signaling proteins. Adenosine 2A (A2A) and Dopamine 2 (D2) receptors belong to G-Protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) family and are located mostly in striatopallidal γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) cont...
