4. The study shows that, compared to the inactive 11-cis-retinal case, trans-retinal rhodopsin is able to undergo protonated Schiff base (PSB) deprotonation due to a change in the conformation of the retinal and a consequent alteration in the hydrogen-bond (HB) network in which PSB and the counterion Glu113 are embedded. PMID:28731695

23. findings show that a quantum chemical model of rhodopsin provides a molecular-level understanding of the Barlow correlation; the transition state mediating thermal activation has the same electronic structure as the photoreceptor excited state, creating a direct link between maximum absorption wavelength and thermal activation kinetic constant PMID:22955833
