Spectral-tuning mechanisms of marine mammal rhodopsins and correlations with foraging depth.

Visual neuroscience - 1 Jan 2000

Fasick J I, Robinson P R

Abstract excerpt

It has been observed that deep-foraging marine mammals have visual pigments that are blue shifted in terms of their wavelength of maximal absorbance (lambda(max)) when compared to analogous pigments from terrestrial mammals. The mechanisms underlying the spectral tuning of two of these blue-shifted pigments have recently been elucidated and depend on three amino acid substitutions (83Asn, 292Ser, and 299Ser) in...
