Bacteriorhodopsin proton pumping
Short-distance proton transfer (3-4 Å) from retinal to aspartate on the extracellular side:
Long-distance proton transfer (~11 Å)from aspartate on the cytoplasmic side to the retinal:
Involves proton transfers between the retinal chromophore and aspartic residues

Twisting of the retinal chain is tuned such that
- Enough energy is stored to drive the photocycle
- Thermal cis-trans isomerization is energetically unfavourable
