Sentences with phrase «pigment rhodopsin»
His extensive work on the photochemistry of the visual pigment rhodopsin has established the structure of the primary photoproduct using time - resolved vibrational spectroscopy, demonstrated that the primary cis - to - trans photoisomerization in vision is complete in only 200 fs, and revealed the excited state photoisomerization dynamics for the first time.
