Production of a Light-Gated Proton Channel by Replacing the Retinal Chromophore with Its Synthetic Vinylene Derivative

Rhodopsin is widely distributed in organisms as a membrane-embedded photoreceptor protein, consisting of the apoprotein opsin and vitamin-A aldehyde retinal, A1-retinal and A2-retinal being the natural chromophores. Modifications of opsin (e.g., by mutations) have provided insight into the molecular...
