TABLE 1.

Summary of the photosensitivities and quantum yields of the pigments

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.
