Systems analysis of the single photon response in invertebrate photoreceptors.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 29 Jul 2008

Pumir Alain, Graves Jennifer, Ranganathan Rama, Shraiman Boris I

Abstract excerpt

Photoreceptors of Drosophila compound eye employ a G protein-mediated signaling pathway that transduces single photons into transient electrical responses called "quantum bumps" (QB). Although most of the molecular components of this pathway are already known, the system-level understanding of th...
