Abstract
In 1971, Walther Stoeckenius discovered that Halobacterium halobium contains a purple pigment that is chemically similar to rhodopsin and works as a light-driven proton pump. This discovery set Stoeckenius on a research path centered on bacteriorhodopsin, which included the creation of a bovine-soybean-halobacteria chimera that was able to produce ATP when exposed to light and the discovery of a class of proteins that are phosphorylated in a light-dependent manner.
