Light-induced difference FTIR spectroscopy of primate blue-sensitive visual pigment at 163 K

Light-induced difference FTIR spectroscopy of primate blue-sensitive visual pigment at 163 K

Structural studies of color visual pigments lag far behind those of rhodopsin for scotopic vision. Using difference FTIR spectroscopy at 77 K, we report the first structural data of three primate color visual pig­ments, monkey red (MR), green (MG), and blue (MB), where the batho-intermediate (Batho)...
