Résumé

Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is a light-driven proton pump. The primary photochemical event uponlight absorption is isomerization of the retinal chromophore. Here we used time-resolvedcrystallography at an X-ray free-electron laser to follow the structural changes inmultiphoton-excited bR from 250 femtoseconds to 10 picoseconds. Quantum chemistry andultrafast spectroscopy were used to identify a sequential two-photon absorption process,leading to excitation of a tryptophan residueflanking the retinal chromophore, as afirstmanifestation of multiphoton effects. We resolve distinct stages in the structural dynamics ofthe all-transretinal in photoexcited bR to a highly twisted 13-cisconformation. Other activesite sub-picosecond rearrangements include correlated vibrational motions of the electro-nically excited retinal chromophore, the surrounding amino acids and water molecules as wellas their hydrogen bonding network. These results show that this extended photo-activenetwork forms an electronically and vibrationally coupled system in bR, and most likely in allretinal proteins.
