How To Use rhodopsin In A Sentence
- Also, rhodopsin helps keeping our eyes see things clearly in the dark by improving the visual ability, and at the same time protects us from the hazard of the computer radiation.
- It is the reddish purple color of retinal that gives rhodopsin its former name visual purple.
- Retinal sections were stained with cresyl violet for examining general retinal lamination and with photoreceptor cell-specific antibodies (rhodopsin, cone arrestin), which showed the preservation of cone and rod photoreceptors within the MSC treated animals. PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- Hartmut Michel managed to crystallize a membrane protein (bacteriorhodopsin) after having solubilized the lipid bilayer of the membrane with a detergent. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1988
- A new approach to the three-dimensional structure of membrane proteins has been developed and tested on the integral membrane protein, bacteriorhodopsin, the crystal structure of which had previously been determined.
- We constructed eight mutant rhodopsin proteins and studied the effect of arrestin-mediated deactivation.
- 1966-70 Continued microcosm studies: with Scott Nixon metabolism of brine microcosms and analog simulation showed rhodopsin photorespiration in pink Halophilic bacteria before it was found by physiologists. Annotated contributions of Howard T. Odum
- Namely, two rhodopsins that absorb in different spectral bands and optimally function at different intensity ranges generate two photoreceptor currents that control flagella movement during phototaxis.
- This pellet was utilized to prepare bacteriorhodopsin while the supernatant was used for the isolation of crude fatty acids.
- Although this can be visualized for bacteriorhodopsin, the calculation is a large computational undertaking.
