Retinal orientation and interactions in rhodopsin reveal a two-stage trigger mechanism for activation
The 11-cis retinal chromophore is tightly packed within the interior of the visual receptor rhodopsin and isomerizes to the all-trans configuration following absorption of light. The mechanism by which this isomerization event drives the outward rotation of transmembrane helix H6, a hallmark of acti...
