Rhodopsin charge diffusion computations disclose contrasting color-tuning mechanisms

Abstract Our understanding of the rules controlling the spectral tuning of light absorbing proteins is limited. When looking at rhodopsins as canonical examples, the fact that the cavity incorporates the chromophore counterion in different positions and polar residues with different orientations, le...
