Abstract
The magnetic anisotropy of a polymembrane cell, such as the external segment of the frog retinal rod, is defined as the difference between the axial magnetic susceptibility (chiar), chia - chir = deltachi of the segment. After the total photolysis of the rhodopsin in situ, deltachi decreases a significantly by 20%. This decrease in magnetic anisotrophy should involve a subtle molecular disorder, mostly due to an alteration of the rhodopsin molecule.Entities:
