Two-dimensional crystals of rhodopsin were studied to determine the arrangement of the transmembrane alpha helices. A combination of electron cryo-microscopy, image processing and electron ...
The function of the visual photopigment rhodopsin and its action in the retina to facilitate vision is well understood. However, there remain questions about other biological functions of this family ...

Dr. Park’s research focuses on the biology of photoreceptor cells and structure-function studies of rhodopsin and other G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) using cutting-edge biochemical, biophysical ...
In what they believe is a solution to a 30-year biological mystery, neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used genetically engineered mice to address how one mutation in the gene for ...
Scientists have identified two non-retinoid compounds that may be able to treat retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a group of inherited eye diseases that cause blindness. The compounds were discovered by ...
