"It has been reported that regeneration of visual pigments
is a slow process and that photoisomerization of 11-cis-retinal
in rhodopsin is very rapid. In fact, complete dark adaptation in
humans requires approximately 40 minutes, [BNID 111394] and conversion
of rhodopsin to photorhodopsin requires only 200 fsec.[primary source]" Bovine retina was studied according to primary source p.413 middle column bottom paragraph: "The
rhodopsin sample is prepared by isolating rod outer segments from bovine retinas (10)." |
