Rhodopsin molecule. Computer model showing bovine rhodopsin (yellow-green) with the light-sensing retinal molecule in pink. A few atoms on the front part of the protein have been removed in order to show the retinal molecule. Rhodopsin (also called visual purple) is a pigment found in the rod photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye, where it absorbs light falling on the retina. | |
