Comparison of the isomerization mechanisms of human melanopsin and invertebrate and vertebrate rhodopsins

, 2014
Comparative modeling and ab initio multiconfigurational quantum chemistry are combined to investigate the reactivity of the human nonvisual photoreceptor melanopsin.

Photochemical Nature of Parietopsin

, 2016
Parietopsin is a nonvisual green light-sensitive opsin closely related to vertebrate visual opsins and was originally identified in lizard parietal eye photoreceptor cells.

Photochemical Properties of Mammalian Melanopsin

, 2016
Melanopsin is the photoreceptor molecule of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, which serve as the input for various nonvisual behavior and physiological functions fundamental to organisms.

Selective activation of G-protein subtypes by vertebrate and invertebrate rhodopsins

, 1998
We have quantitatively investigated specificities in activating G-protein subtype by bovine and squid rhodopsins to examine whether or not the phototransduction cascade in each of the photoreceptor cells is determined by the colocalization of a large ...

Retinal S-antigen: immunocytochemical and immunochemical studies on distribution in animal photoreceptors and pineal organs

, 1986
Antiserum against bovine retinal S-antigen, a soluble protein (MW = 50 kDa) thought to be involved in phototransduction, was used in an immunohistochemical and immunochemical study of vertebrate eyes and pineal systems and invertebrate photoreceptor ...

Morphogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster : an in vitro analysis

, 2007
The aim of this thesis was to investigate morphogenesis in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster using three in vitro tissue culture systems. Primary embryonic cultures derived from Drosophila melanogaster were used to study the effect of the moulting

A screen for genes regulating neuroblast activity in Drosophila.

, 2008
Following embryogenesis, the morphology of the CNS becomes dramatically remodelled to reflect the different locomotive and sensory requirements of the adult relative to the larva. This is largely achieved through the varying spatio-temporal proliferation
