The structure in 3D represented here is 2Z55, a cristal made of four archaerhodopsin-2.
It is composed of 259 amino acids. 88% of this amino acid sequence is identical to the sequence of the archaerhodopsin. Moreover, there is 56% identity between this sequence and the sequence of the bacteriorhodopsin.  <ref name="seq">PMID: 1654776</ref>
