Probing and Modeling the Absorption of Retinal Protein Chromophores in Vacuo

Probing and Modeling the Absorption of Retinal Protein Chromophores in Vacuo

Seeing the light: A joint experimental and theoretical approach delivers the free gas‐phase high‐resolution absorption spectrum of the chromophore conformations implicated in the spectroscopy of retinal proteins (see scheme). Notably, many retinal pigments absorb close to the gas‐phase value.
