Abstract excerpt
Rhodopsin (RHO) is a light-sensitive pigment in the retina and the main prototypical protein of the G-protein-coupled receptor (GCPR) family. After receiving a light stimulus, RHO and its cofactor retinylidene undergo a series of structural changes that initiate an intricate transduction mechanism. Along with RHO, other partner proteins play key roles in the signaling pathway. These include transducin, a GTPase,...
