And those of us endowed with normal sight are used to thinking of our eyes as vital to how we experience the world. Vision is an advanced form of photoreception – that is, light sensing. Scroll down ...

BLUF (blue light using flavin) domain proteins constitute a versatile family of photoreceptors that mediate light sensing and signal transduction in diverse organisms. These proteins employ a flavin ...

A mammalian photoreceptive protein melanopsin spontaneously releases the chromophore retinal, say researchers. The property would be important to regulate non-visual photoreception in mammals.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In order for photoperiodic phenomena to be expressed by any animal, the organism must possess some sort of photoreceptor. This may be in the ...
