The membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin is a proton pump, in which proton transport is initiated by the light-induced isomerization of the chromophore retinal. The molecular quantum states involved in ...
ONE LITTLE BOND—the double bond—is beginning to make a big difference in neuroscience. Under the right chemical circumstances, double-bonded compounds can respond to light by converting between trans ...
The retina is the innermost layer of the eye, and it features many light-sensitive photoreceptor cells. These cells detect light and convert it into electrical signals, which travel through the optic ...
