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 solution of retinene. The molar extinctions of all-trans retinene and all-trans retinene oxime have also been determined in ethyl alcohol and aqueous digitonin solutions. On the assumption that each chromophoric group of rhodopsin is made from a single molecule of retinene, it is concluded that the primary… Expand
