Tautomeric Forms of Metarhodopsin
- R. Matthews, R. Hubbard, P. Brown, G. Wald
- Chemistry, Medicine
- The Journal of general physiology
- 1 November 1963
Light isomerizes the chromophore of rhodopsin, 11-cis retinal (formerly retinene), to the all-trans configuration. This introduces a succession of unstable intermediates—pre-lumirhodopsin,… Expand
THE MOLAR EXTINCTION OF RHODOPSIN
The molar extinction of rhodopsin is 40,600 cm.2 per mole equivalent of retinene; i.e., this is the extinction of a solution of rhodopsin which is produced by, or yields on bleaching, a molar… Expand

Visual Pigments in Single Rods and Cones of the Human Retina
Difference spectra of the visual pigments have been measured in single rods and cones of a parafoveal region of the human retina. Rods display an absorption maximum (λmax) at about 505 m� associated… Expand
The change in refractive power of the human eye in dim and bright light.
- G. Wald, D. Griffin
- Physics, Medicine
- Journal of the Optical Society of America
- 1 May 1947
It has been reported that the human eye behaves as though relatively short-sighted in dim light. Observers tend to compensate for this change by setting optical instruments more negatively in dim… Expand
Rhodopsin and Porphyropsin Fields In the Adult Bullfrog Retina
- T. Reuter, R. H. White, G. Wald
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of general physiology
- 1 October 1971
Though it had been supposed earlier that the bullfrog undergoes a virtually complete metamorphosis of visual systems from vitamin A2 and porphyropsin in the tadpole to vitamin A1 and rhodopsin in the… Expand
VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY AND NIGHT BLINDNESS.

THE METAMORPHOSIS OF VISUAL SYSTEMS IN THE SEA LAMPREY
- G. Wald
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of general physiology
- 20 July 1957
The life cycle of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, includes two metamorphoses. At the end of a period spent as a blind larva, buried in the mud of streams, a first metamorphosis prepares it to… Expand
