Abstract excerpt
Site-specific mutagenesis was employed to investigate the proposed contribution of proton-donating residues (Glu, Asp) in the membrane domains of bovine rhodopsin to protonation of the Schiff base-linking protein and chromophore or to wavelength modulation of this visual pigment. Three point-mutations were introduced to replace the highly conserved residues Asp83 by Asn (D83N), Glu113 by Gln (E113 Q) or Glu134 by...
