Confronting Complexity: the Interlink of Phototransduction and Retinoid Metabolism in the Vertebrate Retina

Absorption of light by rhodopsin or cone pigments in photoreceptors triggers photoisomerization of their universal chromophore, 11- cis-retinal, to all- trans-retinal. This photoreaction is the initial step in phototransduction that ultimately leads to the sensation of vision. Currently, a great dea...
