We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness ...

Phytochrome: A type of photoreceptor protein that detects light and regulates various biological processes in plants and other organisms. Chromophore: The part of a molecule responsible for its ...

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects ...

Protein engineering and self-assembly techniques ... By utilizing a B 12-dependent photoreceptor, researchers have developed a system that allows for the controlled assembly of proteins in ...

A type of pineal photoreceptor cell that contains a protein called parapinopsin 1 (PP1) detects color. These PP1 cells become active and inactive in proportion to the difference in wavelength of ...

When the moon hits L-Cry like a big pizza pie, that’s amore—or at least a mass spawning event for marine worms.

We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness ...

Researchers uncovered how zebrafish detect colors using photoreceptor cells in the pineal gland. The protein parapinopsin 1 ...

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a group of monogenic disorders caused by mutations in more than 280 genes, and are characterized by progressive degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina.
