Abstrakt: The spectral sensitivity of photoreceptors Rl-6 in the blowfly Calliphora erythrocephala has a characteristic UV fine spectrum due to a sensitizing pigment complexed with the visual pigment, P490. The present study concerns the identity and steric configuration of the sensitizing pigment, and the number of its binding sites on P490. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
