Description
Rhodopsin is comprised of the protein opsin and a reversibly covalently bound cofactor, retinal. Opsin, made up of seven membrane-embedded alpha helices, binds retinal, a photoreactive chromophore, in a central pocket. In addition to being the pigment of the retina that is responsible for the formation of photoreceptor cells, rhodopsin conveys information stored in the chromophore to the surface of the molecule upon light absorption. Mutations in the rhodopsin gene lead to retinitis pigmentosa
