Predicting peak spectral sensitivities of vertebrate cone visual pigments using atomistic molecular simulations.

Vision is the dominant sensory modality in many organisms for foraging, predator avoidance, and social behaviors including mate selection. Vertebrate visual perception is initiated when light strikes rod and cone photoreceptors within the neural retina of the eye. Sensitivity to individual colors, i...
