AB - The proton pump transmembrane protein bacteriorhodopsin was successfully incorporated into planar floating lipid bilayers in gel and fluid phases, by ap- plying a detergent-mediated incorporation method. The method was optimized on single supported bilayers by using quartz crystal microbalance, atomic force and fluorescence microscopy techniques. Neutron and X-ray reflectometry were used on both single and floating bilayers with the aim of determining the struc- ture and composition of this membrane-protein system before and after protein reconstitution at sub-nanometer resolution. Lipid bilayer integrity and pro- tein activity were preserved upon the reconstitution process. Reversible struc- tural modifications of the membrane, induced by the bacteriorhodopsin func- tional activity triggered by visible light, were observed and characterized at the nanoscale.
