Molecular dynamics simulations of retinal in rhodopsin: from the dark-adapted state towards lumirhodopsin.
The formation of photointermediates and conformational changes observed in the retinal chromophore of bilayer-embedded rhodopsin during the early steps of the protein activation have been studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. In particular, the lysine-bound retinal has been examined, focusi...
