Dominant mutations in the rhodopsin gene (Rho) contribute to 25% of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP), characterized by photoreceptor loss and progressive blindness. One such mutation, Rho∆I256, carries a 3-bp deletion, resulting in the loss

Abstract Rhodopsins are ancient and versatile light‐sensitive proteins, widely distributed across microbial life. In dinoflagellates, however, their diversity and function remain poorly understood, owing to the lineage's extreme genomic divergence. Here, we surveyed the rhodopsin complements of two dinoflagellates, Amphidinium carterae and Karlodinium ...

Shine Amidst Darkness—A Case of Oguchi Disease
An 11-year-old boy presented with complaints of defective night vision. Visual acuity was 6/6 in both eyes. The fundus showed a golden-to-grey discoloration in light and on dark adaptation, the fundus reverted to its normal appearance demonstrating the ...

Abstract In biological and biomedical research, the focus progressively moves towards difficult human proteins, which often can only be expressed in higher eukaryotic cells. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) could contribute significantly to the understanding of important proteins as it is one of the most information‐rich methods.

Cannabidiol (CBD) exhibits increased reactivity, stronger CB1 receptor binding, and enhanced cytotoxicity against A431 squamous carcinoma cells compared to 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU). Integrated DFT, molecular docking, and experimental analyses demonstrate CBD's improved stability and binding affinity, highlighting its potential as an alternative ...

Equivalence of background and bleaching desensitization in isolated rod photoreceptors of the larval tiger salamander. [PDF]
Psychophysical experiments have shown an equivalence between sensitivity reduction by background light and by bleaches for the human scotopic system.

Modelization of Thermal Fluctuations in G Protein-Coupled Receptors
We simulate the electrical properties of a device realized by a G protein coupled receptor (GPCR), embedded in its membrane and in contact with two metallic electrodes through which an external voltage is applied.
