Rhodopsin: Evolution and comparative physiology

A review of physicochemical properties, photochemistry, functions, and evolution of retinal-containing proteins (microbial and of metazoan rhodopsins, mostly visual rhodopsins) is provided. Comparative physiology of visual rhodopsins is considered in detail, mainly the molecular mechanisms of their...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:A review of physicochemical properties, photochemistry, functions, and evolution of retinal-containing proteins (microbial and of metazoan rhodopsins, mostly visual rhodopsins) is provided. Comparative physiology of visual rhodopsins is considered in detail, mainly the molecular mechanisms of their spectral tuning.
