Spontaneous activation of visual pigments in relation to openness/closedness of chromophore-binding pocket

Visual pigments can be spontaneously activated by internal thermal energy, generating noise that interferes with real-light detection. Recently, we developed a physicochemical theory that successfully predicts the rate of spontaneous activity of representative rod and cone pigments from their peak-a...
