Polyenes and vision
Chem Biol.
1996 Apr.
Abstract
Polyenes are important for vision in all sighted species. The visual pigments (the rhodopsins) all use 11-cis-retinal as the chromophore; some possible reasons for the importance of this isomer are now emerging. New results on the involvement of xanthophils in the maintenance of the retina are also discussed.
