How color visual pigments are tuned.

Trends in biochemical sciences - 1 Aug 1999

Kochendoerfer G G, Lin S W, Sakmar T P, Mathies R A

Abstract excerpt

The absorption maximum of the retinal chromophore in color visual pigments is tuned by interactions with the protein (opsin) to which it is bound. Recent advances in the expression of rhodopsin-like transmembrane receptors and in spectroscopic techniques have allowed us to measure resonance Raman vibrational spectra of the retinal chromophore in recombinant visual pigments to examine the molecular basis of this...
