Position of rhodopsin photoisomerization on the disk surface confers variability to the rising phase of the single photon response in vertebrate rod photoreceptors

Retinal rods function as accurate photon counters to provide for vision under very dim light. To do so, rods must generate highly amplified, reproducible responses to single photons, yet outer segment architecture and randomness in the location of rhodopsin photoisomerization on the surface of an in...
