abstract = {Membrane proteins are molecular machines that transport
ions, solutes, or information across the cell membrane.
Electrophysiological techniques have unraveled many
functional aspects of ion channels but suffer from the lack
of structural sensitivity. Here, we present
spectroelectrochemical data on vibrational changes of
membrane proteins derived from a single monolayer. For the
seven-helical transmembrane protein sensory rhodopsin II,
structural changes of the protein backbone and the retinal
cofactor as well as single ion transfer events are resolved
by surface-enhanced IR difference absorption spectroscopy
(SEIDAS). Angular changes of bonds versus the membrane
normal have been determined because SEIDAS monitors only
those vibrations whose dipole moment are oriented
perpendicular to the solid surface. The application of
negative membrane potentials (DeltaV = -0.3 V) leads to the
selective halt of the light-induced proton transfer at the
stage of D75, the counter ion of the retinal Schiff base. It
is inferred that the voltage raises the energy barrier of
this particular proton-transfer reaction, rendering the
energy deposited in the retinal by light excitation
insufficient for charge transfer to occur. The other
structural rearrangements that accompany light-induced
activity of the membrane protein, are essentially unaffected
by the transmembrane electric field. Our results demonstrate
that SEIDAS is a generic approach to study processes that
depend on the membrane potential, like those in
voltage-gated ion channels and transporters, to elucidate
the mechanism of ion transfer with unprecedented spatial
sensitivity and temporal resolution.},
