Photoreduction of the quinone pool in the bacterial photosynthetic membrane: identification of infrared marker bands for quinol formation.

abstract：:Guanylate cyclase activity was measured in disrupted rod outer segments of the toad retina. The experiments showed that cGMP is synthesized from GTP at a rate of 3 +/- 1 nmol/min per mg protein. In darkness this value is largely independent of the Ca2+ concentration, while it is enhanced by flashes of light of increas...
