Abstract: Rhodopsins constitute a broad class of retinal-binding photoreceptors. Microbial rhodopsins are canonically activated through an all-trans to 13-cis photoisomerization, whereas animal rhodopsins are mostly activated through an 11-cis to all-trans isomerization. Bestrhodopsins constitute a special… read more here.
