Observations of light-induced structural changes of retinal within rhodopsin.
Photo-isomerization of the 11-cis retinal chromophore activates the mammalian light-receptor rhodopsin, a representative member of a major superfamily of transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor proteins (GPCRs) responsible for many cell signal communication pathways. Although low-resolution (5 A) e...
