Interaction of dibucaine.HCl local anesthetics with bacteriorhodopsin in purple membrane: a spectroscopic study.

abstract：:Action spectroscopy has a long history and is of central importance to photobiological studies. Action spectra were among the first assays to point to chlorophyll as the molecule most responsible for plant growth and to DNA as the genetic material. It is useful to construct action spectra early in the investigation of...
