We report the first femtosecond time-resolved absorption study on ultrafast photoreaction dynamics of a recently discovered retinal protein, KR2, which functions as a light-driven sodium-ion pump. The obtained data show that the excited-state absorption around 460 nm and the stimulated emission around 720 nm decay concomitantly with a time constant of 180 Is. This demonstrates that the deactivation of the S-1 state of KR2, which involves isomerization of the retinal chromophore, takes place three times faster than that of bacteriorhodopsin. In accordance with this rapid electronic relaxation, the photoproduct band assignable to the J intermediate grows up at similar to 620 nm, indicating that the J intermediate is directly formed with the S-1 -> S-0 internal conversion. The photoproduct band subsequently exhibits a similar to 30 nm blue shift with a 500 fs time constant, corresponding to the conversion to the K intermediate. On the basis of the femtosecond absorption data obtained, we discuss the mechanism for the rapid photoreaction of KR2 and its relevance to the unique function of the sodium-ion pump.
