Mechanism of spectral tuning in the dolphin visual pigments.

Biochemistry - 13 Jan 1998

Fasick J I, Robsinson P R

Abstract excerpt

The absorption maxima of both rod and cone visual pigments of the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) are blue-shifted relative to those of terrestrial mammals. A comparison of the sequence of the dolphin rod photopigment gene with that of the bovine rod suggests that, fo the 28 nonidentical amino acids, three amino acid substitutions at positions 83, 292, and 299 in the dolphin rod pigment are responsible...
