Active ion transport across membranes is vital to maintaining the electrochemical gradients of ions in cells and is mediated by transmembrane proteins. Photoexcitation of some microbial rhodopsins leads to ion transport across membranes. They contain all-trans-retinal as a chromophore, which is cova...
