13-Desmethyl Rhodopsin and 13-Desmethyl Isorhodopsin: Visual Pigment Analogues
AUTOR(ES)
Nelson, Ralph
RESUMO
The preparation and properties of three geometric isomers of 13-desmethyl retinal (13-dmr) are described. They are analogous to the all-trans, 11-cis, and 9-cis isomers of retinal since two of the cis isomers combine with cattle opsin to form pigments which are spectrally indistinguishable from rhodopsin and isorhodopsin and the all-trans isomer is unreactive.
