Conical intersection dynamics in Rhodopsin and its analog isorhodopsin
The protonated Schiff base of the 11-cis retinal (PSB11) is the chromophore of the visual pigment Rhodopsin (Rh). The biological activity of Rh is triggered by an ultrafast (200 fs) and efficient (0.65 quantum yield) light-induced cis-trans isomerization of PSB11 around the 11=12 double bond [1], wh...
