Molecular Evolution and Functional Characterization of the Visual Pigment Proteins of the Great Bowerbird (Chlamydera nuchalis) and Other Vertebrates
… hydroxylamine sensitivity and the rate of retinal release. This chapter includes an investigation into the role of amino acid mutations typical of dim-light adapted vertebrates, D83N and A292S, in regulating functional properties of bovine and avian RH1s using site-directed mutagenesis. …

Development of Novel Chemical Biology Tools for Probing Structure-Function Relationships in G Protein-Coupled Receptors
… Rho consists of a chromophore ligand, 11-cis-retinal, bound to the opsin via a Schiff base bond. The photoisomerization of 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal activates the receptor to trigger the downstream signaling cascade in photoreceptor cells. The Schiff base bond in the active …
