Аннотация: The operation of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) from the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum is based on the photochromic reaction of isomerization of the chromophore group (the retinal protonated Schiffbase, RPSB) from the all-trans to the 13-cis form. The ultrafast dynamics of the reverse 13-cis → all-trans photoreaction was studied using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy in comparisonwith the forward photoreaction. The forward photoreaction was initiated by photoexcitation of BR by pulse I (540 nm). The reverse photoreaction was initiated by photoexcitation of the product K590 at an early stage of its formation (5 ps) by pulse II (660 nm). The conversion of the excited K590 to the ground state proceeds at times of 0.19, 1.1, and 16 ps with the relative contributions of ~20/60/20, respectively. All these decay channels lead to the formation of the initial state of BR as a product with a quantum yield of ~1. This state is preceded by vibrationally excited intermediates, the relaxation of which occurs in the 16 ps time range. Likely, the heterogeneity of the excited state of K590 is determined by the heterogeneity of its chromophore center. The forward photoreaction includes two components—0.52 and 3.5 ps, with the relative contributions of 91/9, respectively. The reverse photoreaction initiated from K590 proceeds more efficiently in the conical intersection (CI) region but on the whole at a lower rate compared to the forward photoreaction, due to significant heterogeneity of the potential energy surface.
