Light is a powerful source of energy that is used for various biological purposes. Some organisms harness light to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells, while others use light to interpret ...

At the heart of this issue is the protein rhodopsin, which, due to genetic mutations, often misfolds. This misfolding disrupts its function, leading to retinal cell degeneration. Scientists have ...

This study makes the fundamental discovery of the first natural animal rhodopsin that uses a chloride ion instead of an amino acid side chain as a counterion. Using a combination of biochemical and ...
