Abstract excerpt
Biochemical data providing new insights into the packing of helices I and II in the transmembrane domain of rhodopsin reveals the existence of a specific set of size- and charge-sensitive interhelical interactions that influence protein tertiary structure. These findings have broad implications towards understanding the molecular consequences of naturally occurring mutations associated with the retinal...
