Isomeric composition of retinal before and after light irradiation. Retinal composition before and after light stimulation shows that the main reaction in K296G/nPrSB is cis-trans isomerization of the 11-cis double bond similar to the wild-type rhodopsin. The mutant shows some all-trans isomers before light irradiation, presumably due to the excess chromophore added to reconstitute the pigment. It also shows some formation of 13-cis isomer after light irradiation; however, its contribution is small.
