The primary process of vision and the structure of bathorhodopsin: a mechanism for photoisomerization of polyenes.
Open accessAbstract
A model for the primary process of vision is proposed, which involves a novel concerted-twist motion. Application of such motions to rhodopsin and bathorhodopsin successfully accounts for the properties of bathorhodopsin and related intermediates, including specific assignment of molecular structures to bathorhodopsin, to lumirhodopsin, and, less specifically, to hypsorhodopsin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
