HOUSTON - (July 25, 2016) -- The study of rhodopsin -- the molecule that allows the eye to detect dim light -- has a long and well-recognized history of more than 100 years. Nevertheless, there is ...
Researchers have revealed the impact of native lipids on rhodopsin signaling and regeneration, which may usher in a new paradigm for discovery of drugs that target G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
The movement of genetic material from prokaryotes seemed like a plausible route for rhodopsins to make their way into eukaryotes, but researchers still wrestled with some of the details of this ...
