Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance of rhodopsin and its photointermediates

Photoisomerization of the membrane-bound light receptor protein rhodopsin leads to a highly energetic species called bathorhodopsin, which is stable at temperatures below 125 K. Bathorhodopsin stores about 2/3 of the absorbed photon energy but the mechanisms with which this energy is stored is not c...
