Abstract

Utilization of lipidic cubic phases in the crystallization of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) has yielded long sought after crystals that diffract X-rays to 2 A resolution. The resulting structure provides new information on the protein conformation and the mechanism of proton translocation. Crystallization of bR via lipidic cubic phases may be a harbinger of new membrane protein crystallization strategies.
