Figure 4. Analysis of UV-vis spectra of some selected single-cysteine mutants of rhodopsin on the background of wild-type rhodopsin.

Figure 4

Mutants (Basal mutant, P107C/, N111C/, E122C/, A124C/, L125C/, and L128C/WT) were purified from COS-1 cells after regeneration with 25 µM 11-cis-retinal. UV-vis spectra were recorded in the dark, after acidification, and after illuminating the samples for 30 sec at 20°C.
