Opsins and mammalian photoentrainment
Cell and Tissue Research, 2002Research over the past decade has provided overwhelming evidence that photoreception in the vertebrate eye is not confined to the rod and cone photoreceptors. It appears that photoreceptor cells within the inner retina provide irradiance information to a wide variety of different photosensory tasks including photoentrainment, pupillary constriction and

Opsin for immunological studies
Current Eye Research, 1985Opsin for immunological studies can be prepared free from S-antigen by affinity chromatography on Con A-Sepharose. This preparation, however, contains 2-6% Con A originating from the affinity medium. Con A as impurity disturbs lymphocyte transformation tests carried out with opsin as test antigen. We describe a method for the removal of Con A by immuno-

A radioimmunoassay specific for opsin
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 1983A radioimmunoassay is developed for bovine opsin using a rabbit antiserum against bovine rod outer segment membranes. The assay is specific for opsin. Rhodopsin, bacteriorhodopsin and hemoglobin do not show cross-reaction. It can be carried out rapidly, has a sensitivity of 0.01 pmol bovine opsin and gives accurate results, even in the presence of a ...

Non-Gaussian fluctuations in opsins
2013 22nd International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations (ICNF), 2013We investigate conductance fluctuations of two transmembrane proteins, bacteriorhodopsin and proteorhodopsin, belonging to the family of opsins. These proteins are sensitive to visible light and are promising biomaterials for the realization of novel photodevices.

RHODOPSIN, the visual pigment of vertebrate rods, has been shown to consist of a chromophore (11-cis retinal) bound to a protein (opsin)1–2. It has been proposed that the linkage is a Schiff base between phosphatidyl ethanolaniine (PE) and retinal and that when exposed to light, the retinal migrates from PE to the e-amino-group of a lysine residue in ...

Immunoreactivity of rhodopsin and opsin
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1984An examination by a radioimmunoassay of the relative affinity of opsin and rhodopsin for rabbit antibody raised against bovine rhodopsin revealed that opsin was the preferred antigen. About 10-fold greater amounts of rhodopsin than opsin were required to achieve 50% inhibition of binding of 125I-labeled ligand in the RIA.

James Bowmaker is fascinated by pineal glands. These photosensitive glands, which regulate circadian rhythms in response to light levels by releasing melatonin, are usually located on top of the brain just beneath the skull.
