Structural biology of 11-cis-retinaldehyde production in the classical visual cycle

The vitamin A derivative 11-cis-retinaldehyde plays a pivotal role in vertebrate vision by serving as the chromophore of rod and cone visual pigments. In the initial step of vision, a photon is absorbed by this chromophore resulting in its isomerization to an all-trans state and consequent activatio...
