Quantum–classical simulations of rhodopsin reveal excited-state-population splitting and its effects on quantum efficiency
The activation of rhodopsin, the light-sensitive G-protein coupled receptor responsible for dim-light vision in vertebrates, is driven by an ultrafast excited-state double-bond isomerization with a quantum efficiency of almost 70%. The origin of such light sensitivity is not understood and a key que...
