Title: Signal transduction in photoreceptors. Author: Langmack K, Saibil H. Journal: Biochem Soc Trans; 1991 Nov; 19(4):858-60. PubMed ID: 1794572.

New results are presented on the structure of squid rhodopsin, which possesses an extensive proline-rich repeat at its C-terminus, using negative-stain electron microscopy.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
