Convergent evolution of tertiary structure in rhodopsin visual proteins from vertebrates and box jellyfish

Box jellyfish and vertebrates are separated by >500 million years of evolution yet have structurally analogous lens eyes that employ rhodopsin photopigments for vision. All opsins possess a negatively charged residue—the counterion—to maintain visible-light sensitivity and facilitate photoisomeri...
