Any good anagrams for archaerhodopsin?

Archaerhodopsin proteins are a family of retinal-containing photoreceptors found in the archaea genera Halobacterium and Halorubrum. Like the homologous bacteriorhodopsin (bR) protein, archaerhodopsins harvest energy from sunlight to pump H+ ions out of the cell, establishing a proton motive force that is used for ATP synthesis. They have some structural similarities to the mammalian GPCR protein rhodopsin, but are not true homologs. Archaerhodopsins differ from bR in that the claret membrane, in which they are expressed, includes bacterioruberin, a second chromophore thought to protect against photobleaching. bR also lacks the omega loop structure that has been observed at the N-terminus of the structures of several archaerhodopsins. Mutants of Archaerhodopsin-3 (AR3) are widely used as tools in optogenetics for neuroscience research.
