Popis:	Rhodopsin is the photoreceptor protein of rod cells in the vertebrate retina. Physical studies of the photoreceptor membrane provide a low-resolution structure and show that rhodopsin has a large fraction of its mass embedded in the lipid bilayer. The complete amino acid sequence of bovine rhodopsin has recently been obtained and this, combined with other information, leads to testable predictions of the basic structural features of vertebrate rhodopsin.
