Blue light regenerates functional visual pigments in mammals through a retinyl-phospholipid intermediate. [PDF]
, 2017 The light absorbing chromophore in opsin visual pigments is the protonated Schiff base of 11-cis-retinaldehyde (11cRAL). Absorption of a photon isomerizes 11cRAL to all-trans-retinaldehyde (atRAL), briefly activating the pigment before it dissociates ...
