Abstract

Controlled modification of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) by means of genetic engineering is a powerful tool to create BR-variants with photophysical properties significantly different from the wildtype molecule and, in addition, adapted to the physical demands of various optical information processing techniques. The application of BR-films containing the variant D96N in real-time interferometry is described.
