Occupancy of the Chromophore Binding Site of Opsin Activates Visual Transduction in Rod Photoreceptors

The retinal analogue β-ionone was used to investigate possible physiological effects of the noncovalent interaction between rod opsin and its chromophore 11-cis retinal. Isolated salamander rod photoreceptors were exposed to bright light that bleached a significant fraction of their pigment, were al...
