19. The transient pH change along the purple membrane surface due to proton pumping by BR is smaller than 0.2 pH units in an unbuffered suspension (calculated from data of ref 4). The change in bulk medium pH is only 0.05. Although the ability of the used buffers to diffuse between the purple membrane sheets is not precisely known, the small pH change by proton pumping will be decreased by the buffer. This rules out any large effects on the photocycle kinetics. The chemical nature and the concentration of the buffers used do not influence the photoreaction (cf. ref 4).

32. It should be stressed at this point that due to different polarization conditions the ATR technique is more sensitive to changes in the amide I modes of α-helixes than transmission spectroscopy (cf. ref 15).

40. 41 published O-BR difference spectra of E204 mutants. The close agreement of their spectra with those presented here (Figure 4) confirms our findings. Minor differences may be explained by using different techniques (ATR, transmission) and different measuring conditions (pH, temperature, time) and by the lower signal-to-noise ratio of the difference spectra of Kandori et al.
