Spectroscopic titration of D 193N and D 193E mutants of pharaonis phoborhodopsin (ppR) were performed to evaluate the pK$_{a}$ of the Schiff base Asp 193 corresponds to Glu204 of bacteriorhodopsin (bR). The pK$_{a}$ of the Schiff base (SBH$^{+}$) of D193N was 10.1~10.0 (at XH$^{+}$) and 11.4~11.6 (at X) depending on the protonation state of a certain residue (designated by X) and independent on CI$^{[-10]}$ , while those of the wild-type and D193E were> 12. pK$_{a}$ of XH$^{+}$ were; 11.8~11.2 at the state of SB, 10.5 at SBH$^{+}$ state in the presence of CI$^{[-10]}$ , and 9.6 at SBH$^{+}$ without CI$^{[-10]}$ These imply the presence of a long-range interaction in the extracellular channel.r channel.
