Abstract: Akind of protein denaturant─CCl3COOH was used to change the microenvironment of bacteriorhodopsin gradually and resulted in bacteriorhodopsin denaturation finally.The surface photovoltage spectrum, adsorbance spectrum, circular dichroism spectrum and fluorescence spectrum were determined during the processes of changing the microenvironment of bacterorhodopsin, and the effect of trichloroacetic acid on the electronic spectra of bacteriorhodopsin was discussed.

Key words: Bacteriorhodopsin, Trichloroacetic acid, Electronic spectra, Surface photovoltage spectra
