Unique retinal binding pocket of primate blue-sensitive visual pigment

2020-05-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The visual pigments of humans contain 11- cis retinal as the chromophore of light perception, and its photoisomerization to the all- trans form initiates visual excitation in our eyes. It is well known that three isomeric states of retinal (11- cis , all- trans , and 9- cis ) are in photoequilibrium at very low temperatures such as 77 K. Here we report the lack of formation of the 9- cis f...
