Purple membranes are membrane fragments of the cell envelope of the halophylic microorganism Halobacterium salinarium containing hexagonally packed monolayers of the photosensitive protein, bacteriorhodopsin. Here we present the morphological, spectral and kinetic characteristics of purple membranes solubilized with two non-ionic detergents, Triton X-100 and octyl-β-d-glucoside and embedded in gelatin films having a potentiality for various technical applications.
