Why 11-cis-Retinal? Why Not 7-cis, 9-cis or 13-cis-Retinal in the Eye?

One of the basic and unresolved puzzles in the chemistry of vision concerns the natural selection of 11-cis-retinal as the light-sensing chromophore in visual pigments. A detailed computational examination of the structure, stability, energetics and spectroscopy of 7-cis, 9-cis, 11-cis and 13-cis-re...
