Double-quantum 13C nuclear magnetic resonance of bathorhodopsin, the first photointermediate in mammalian vision.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 13C chemical shifts of the primary visual photointermediate bathorhodopsin have been observed by performing double-quantum magic-angle-spinning NMR at low temperature in the presence of illumination. Strong isomerization shifts have been observed upon the conversion of rhodopsin into bathorhodopsin.

A large geometric distortion in the first photointermediate of rhodopsin, determined by double-quantum solid-state NMR.
Double-quantum magic-angle-spinning NMR experiments were performed on 11,12-(13)C(2)-retinylidene-rhodopsin under illumination at low temperature, in order to characterize torsional angle changes at the C11-C12 photoisomerization site. The sample was illuminated in the NMR rotor at low temperature (~120 K) in order to trap the primary photointermediate, bathorhodopsin. The NMR data are consiste...
متن کاملResonance Raman microscopy of rod and cone photoreceptors
We have constructed a Raman microscope that has enabled us to obtain resonance Raman vibrational spectra from single photoreceptor cells. The laser beam which excites the Raman scattering is focused on the outer segment of the photoreceptor through the epiillumination system of a light microscope. Raman scattering from the visual pigment in the photoreceptor is collected by the objective and th...
متن کاملRetinyl Chromophore in Visual Rhodopsin
The H and C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra of the retinyl chromophore in rhodopsin are investigated by using Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) hybrid methods at the Density Functional Theory (DFT) B3LYP/631G*:Amber level, in conjunction with the Gauge Independent Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method for the ab initio Self-Consistent-Field (SCF) calculation of NMR chemical shifts. ...
متن کاملComputational Investigation on Naphthoquinone Derivatives :Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Quantum mechanic
Naphthoquinones are natural aromatic compounds that can be discovered in various plant families. In recent times a diversity of biological activities of these compounds has been reported. In most cases, these pharmacological activities are related to redox and acid-base properties, which can be modulated synthetically by modifying the substituents attached to the 1, 4- naphthoquinone ring, in o...
متن کامل13C hyperfine interactions in the nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond
The electronic spin associated with the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre in diamond interacts with an environment formed by isotopic impurities and paramagnetic defects; the strength of these interactions depends on the location of each impurity relative to the NV centre. From the electron spin resonance spectra of individual NV centres we infer the possible values and signs of hyperfine splittings...
