Abstract
The first nonresonance Raman spectra of photoreceptor membranes are presented. Information about the membrane protein, opsin, and the membrane phospholipids can be deduced. Opsin appears to contain alpha-helical structure but little beta structure. The tyrosine residues are predominantly hydrogen bonded, and disulfide bonds, if they are present, are not in the normal gauche-gauche configuration.Entities:
