Photochemical Primary Process of Octopus Rhodopsin

Abstract

A visual pigment rhodopsin is a chromoprotein with an 11-cis retinal. Rhodopsin is photodecomposed to an all-trans retinal and an apoprotein opsin. The primary event is the photoisomerization of retinal from 11-cis to all-trans conformation [1] followed by sequential thermal reactions [2]. Intermediates have been found by low-temperature spectroscopy except the first intermediate [3,4] primerhodopsin (Batho [5] or photorhodopsin [6]), which has a bathorhodopsin-like red-shifted absorption spectrum. There are three intermediates, bathorhodopsin, hypsorhodopsin, and primerhodopsin, in the picosecond region. The sequence among them at physiological temperature has not yet been established.
