Rhodopsin structure and crystals. Left top: ribbon drawings of rhodopsin (PDB accession code: 1F88)42 in the plane of a disc membrane (two views rotated by 180°). Bottom: the intradiscal side (left) and cytoplasmic side (right) of this receptor. Right: a photo-stable crystal form of the dark inactive state (left) and light-exposed activated state (right) of the receptor.
