(a) (Left panel) Overlay of the crystal structure in blue and the energy-minimized structure of bacteriorhodopsin in red and (right panel) overlay of the crystal structure (blue) and energy-minimized structure of rhodopsin (red). The retinal is not illustrated in the figures but is maintained in the calculations. (b) Overlay of the transition state of rhodopsin (red) with the fully minimized structure of rhodopsin (blue).
