rhodopsin

The light causes a change in a protein called rhodopsin.

Light causes a shape change in rhodopsin, which sits on the surface of the cell.

In the absence of light,the breakdown products are again converted into rhodopsin.

The ones with rhodopsin as a compound are adopted to raise the level of the photosignal.

Both methods predict four general cone opsin groups in addition to rhodopsin.

Scientists have had few clues as to why rhodopsin processes photons of light so efficiently.

Rods and cones use rhodopsin, a mammalian protein in the same family.

In rod cells, these together are called rhodopsin.

The rabbit's head was covered for several minutes to allow rhodopsin to accumulate on the retina.

The main function of rhodopsin is initiating the phototransduction cascade.

The way this system operates was shown in animal model that have a mutant rhodopsin gene.

The most sensitive pigment, rhodopsin, has a peak response at 500 nm.

"The clincher came two months ago when a colleague and I found that the organs contained rhodopsin," she said.

The researchers found the defect in the rhodopsin genes in 17 of 148 cases studied.

Vision is initiated by a photochemical reaction of rhodopsin.

Animals rely on another type of photo-sensitive pigment, known as rhodopsin, to detect light.

When entering a dark room after being in a well lit area, the eyes require time for a good quantity of rhodopsin to regenerate.

Vitamin A is required in the production of rhodopsin, the visual pigment used in low light levels.

The regeneration of active rhodopsin requires opsin and 11-cis-retinal.

The rhodopsin pigment must be regenerated for further phototransduction to occur.

The photoreceptors in Drosophila express a variety of rhodopsin isoforms.

In Drosophila, the rhodopsin Rh2 is only expressed in simple eyes.

Humans have four different other opsins besides rhodopsin.

Iodopsins are very close analogs of the visual purple rhodopsin that is used in night vision.

In the dark, trans-retinene changes into cis-retinene and joins opsin once more to form the rhodopsin.
