Title:
PROTON-TRANSLOCATING RETINAL PROTEIN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002010207
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to proton-translocating retinal proteins, which have a slower photocycle in comparison to the wild type and whose all trans retinal content in both the light-adapted and dark-adapted states does not differ by more than 10 %. The invention also relates to a photochromic composition and to the use of both the proton-translocating retinal proteins and the photochromic composition.
