Structure and mechanistic implications of a uroporphyrinogen III synthase-product complex.

abstract：:The present study focuses on ligand-protein interactions in a rhodopsin analogue generated from bovine opsin and the 10-methyl homologue of 11-cis-retinal. The analogue pigment displays a reduced alpha-band at 506 +/- 2 and a stronger beta-band at 325 nm. Remarkably, the rotational strength of these bands observed in ...
