No references found | Topics addressed include photoreceptor membrane conductance, how the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) regenerates 11-cis retinal, photoreceptor adaptation to various levels of illumination and the biochemical basis of this phenomenon as well as its psychophysical consequences, how the retina develops into its final structure, how signals are processed in the retinal synaptic layers, and how changes in the retina and RPE influence normal aging. The membranes are studded with many copies of the protein opsin, each attached to a molecule of 11-cis retinal. SWS2, P434 opsin was expressed in COS cells, and the pigment formed with the A1 chromophore, 11-cis retinal, showed absorption [1. |
