Rhodopsin | K296G/nPrSB | K296G/EtSB | K296G/MeSB | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Photosensitivity | 1.00 ± 0.02 | 0.97 ± 0.03 | 0.97 ± 0.03 | 1.00 ± 0.04 |
Quantum yielda | 0.65 ± 0.01 | 0.63 ± 0.02 | 0.63 ± 0.02 | 0.65 ± 0.03 |
a The quantum yield was computed from the photosensitivity and the molar extinction coefficient, which was assumed to be the same for all pigments.
