The ability of opsin to activate transducin is modulated by both 11-''cis'' retinal and the all-''trans'' retinal; the 11-''cis'' retinal reduces its activity while the all-''trans'' retinal enhances it through non-covalent interactions <ref> | The ability of opsin to activate transducin is modulated by both 11-''cis'' retinal and the all-''trans'' retinal; the 11-''cis'' retinal reduces its activity while the all-''trans'' retinal enhances it through non-covalent interactions <ref="ArticleOpsin1">PMID:9628807</ref>. This may give insight on the ability of all-''trans'' retinal, in combination with opsin, to alter the photoreceptor sensitivities<ref name="ArticleOpsin1"/>. | ||
