Photon-induced isomerisation

The absorption of light by CM-retinal converts it to the trans-form which induces a conformational change in opsin. One photon catalyses the isomerisation of one molecule of... [Pg.340]

The interest in the development of these supramolecules is triggered not only by the possible applications in photonics, but also in medicine, biology and everyday life. Indeed many phenomena of biological interest originate directly from the light induced and/or controlled mechanical motions at the molecular level. One of the very well known exemple is our vision which exploits the trans-cis isomerisation of... [Pg.610]

The photochemistry of vision is triggered by absorption of a photon and induces cis-trans isomerisation. The conjugated polyenal, ll-c/s-retinal and the protein opsin combine in retina to give the red-purple 11-cis- amine, rhodopsin. [Pg.298]
