Conservation, duplication and divergence of five opsin genes in insect evolution

Opsin proteins covalently bind to small molecular chromophores and each protein-chromophore complex is sensitive to particular wavelengths of light. Multiple opsins with different wavelength absorbance peaks are required for colour vision. Comparing opsin responses is challenging at low light levels...
