Abstract excerpt
Five mutations of rhodopsin have been produced, each of which contains a unique cysteine residue at positions 62, 65, 140, 240, or 316 in the cytoplasmic domain. The single reactive cysteines were derivatized with a sulfhydryl-specific nitroxide spin-label, and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra were analyzed in both lauryl maltoside and digitonin in the dark and after photobleaching. The collision...
