Abstract excerpt
In the course of our studies on the structure/function relationship of visual pigments, we have expressed the human green cone pigment in the baculovirus/insect cell expression system. Purification of the human green cone pigment, however, has so far proven to be severely hampered by the low thermal stability of this receptor in a solubilized state. In order to overcome this problem, we tested a variety of...
