We have chosen to study the pigments, on one hand, and the receptor r

This is illustrated in Fig. 1 for ., a frog where the retina may be separated easily and cleanly from the rest of the pigmented layers of the eye. As the figure shows, the isolated retina at 20° regenerates only about 11% of the pigment bleached (98%) by a ½ hr. exposure to yellow lig

If 11-cis retinal arises through the direct geometrical isomerization of all-trans retinal, it would then seem reasonable to look for the occurence o

The crucial step must involve isomerization of the all-trans form of retinaldehyde or retinol to the 11-cis isomer. It is generally accepted that no 11-cis retinaldehyde or retinol occurs outside the eye (1),

Photoselection and Linear Dichroism of Retinal Isomers and Visual Pigmentsanges in the absorption spectrum of the pigments (1, 2, 3). These changes in the absorption spectrum, which in general are fairly small (less than 20 nm shifts in the absorption maxima), are dependent on the wavelength of the illuminating light and show the typical behavior of the photochromic systems.
