Speed of phototransduction in the microvillus regulates the accuracy and bandwidth of the rhabdomeric photoreceptor.

Phototransduction reactions in the rhabdomeric photoreceptor are profoundly stochastic due to the small number of participating molecules and small reaction space. The resulting quantum bumps (QBs) vary in their timing (latency), amplitudes and durations, and these variabilities within each cell are...
