This paper reports, for the first time, that Archaerhodopsin‐4 (AR4) could be reconstituted into phospholipid liposomes by self‐assembly. AR4 is a new membrane protein isolated from halobacteria H. sp . xz515 in a salt lake of Tibet, China. This is a bacteriorhodopsin (bR) like protein, function as a light‐driven proton pump. Experimental measurements verified that similar to bR, AR not only remains its biological activity in proteoliposome, but also keeps a preferred orientation in self‐assembly.
