  • Title: Visual adaptation: effects of externally applied retinal on the light-adapted, isolated skate retina.
    Author: Pepperberg DR, Lurie M, Brown PK, Dowling JE.
    Journal: Science; 1976 Jan 30; 191(4225):394-6. PubMed ID: 1246621.
    Abstract:
    Incubation with externally applied 11-cis retinal induces a marked increase of visual sensitivity within partially bleached skate photoreceptors. This activity of 11-cis retinal is duplicated by 9-cis retinal, but not by all-trans retinal. The sensitization of photoreceptors promoted by 11-cis and 9-cis retinal is accompanied by the formation of rhodopsin and isorhodopsin, respectively.
