| 1 | The regeneration of bovine rhodopsin from its apoprotein opsin and the prosthetic group 11-cis retinal involves the formation of a retinylidene Schiff base with the epsilon-amino group of the active lysine residue of opsin. | retinylidene schiff base | rhodopsin | Bos taurus |
| 2 | These results are interpreted by the Matsumoto and Yoshizawa (Nature 258 [1975] 523) model of rhodopsin regeneration in which the 11-cis retinal chromophore binds first to opsin through the beta-ionone ring, followed by the slow formation of the retinylidene Schiff base in a restricted space. | retinylidene schiff base | rhodopsin | Bos taurus |
