Steric and Electronic Influences on the Torsional Energy Landscape of Retinal

We have performed quantum mechanical calculations for retinal model compounds to establish the rotational energy barriers for the C5-, C9-, and C13-methyl groups known to play an essential role in rhodopsin activation. Intraretinal steric interactions as well as electronic effects lower the rotation...
