Elastic Properties of Polyunsaturated Phosphatidylethanolamines Influence Rhodopsin Function

Membranes with a high content of polyunsaturated phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) facilitate formation of metarhodopsin-II (M(II)), the photointermediate of bovine rhodopsin that activates the G protein transducin. We determined whether M(II)-formation is quantitatively linked to the elastic propertie...
