Insights into rhodopsin molecular evolution from mice with “humanized” Phe-88 to Leu substitution
2025-10-14
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The function of rod photoreceptors as dim light photon detectors depends critically on the molecular properties of their visual pigment, rhodopsin. The structure of rhodopsin has evolved under selective pressure to light conditions of different spectral composition and overall intensity. One notable example is the switch of mammalian species from nocturnal to diurnal environments. Compa...
