General concept for ion translocation by halobacterial retinal proteins: the isomerization/switch/transfer (IST) model. of outstanding interest Biochemistry. 36:1997;2-7 The authors present a conceptual framework model for the intriguing experimental observation that retinal proteins can change vectoriality and ion specificity. The key feature of the model is that the isomerization (I) of retinal triggers a change in the accessibility of the active center (S), as well as ion transfer (T), and that both compete kinetically.
