Molecular mechanisms of verebrate photoreceptor light adaptation. The human visual system can discriminate increment and decrement light stimuli over a wide range of ambient illumination; from ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 93, No. 10 (May 14, 1996), pp. 4677-4682 (6 pages) The biochemistry of visual excitation is kinetically explored ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 113, No. 46 (November 15, 2016), pp. 13215-13220 (6 pages) In the vertebrate retina, three types of photoreceptors ...
Daylight vision relies on high sensitivity to subtle changes in the spatial pattern, contrast and chromaticity of light inputs. Noise in the responses of cone photoreceptors places a fundamental limit ...
Eye diseases often develop asymptomatically for many years. ICTER scientists have developed the f-ORG technique, which analyzes the retina's reaction to light, helping to detect danger before the ...
Phototransduction begins when photoexcited rhodopsin (R*) and the G protein transducin (G) diffuse on the disk membrane, collide and then bind (reviewed in ref. 2). In this complex, R* catalyses the ...
