Abstract excerpt
Rod-mediated electroretinograms (ERG's) were recorded from transgenic mice expressing a mouse opsin gene with three point mutations (V20G, P23H, and P27L; termed VPP mice) and from normal littermates. The leading edge of the alpha wave was analyzed in relation to a computational model of rod phototransduction [J. Physiol. 499, 719 (1992)], in which values for the maximum response (RmP3), transduction gain (S),...
