Light penetration and photoisomerization in rhodopsin studied by numerical simulations and double-quantum solid-state NMR spectroscopy

The penetration of light into optically thick samples containing the G-protein-coupled receptor rhodopsin is studied by numerical finite-element simulations and double-quantum solid-state NMR experiments. Illumination with white light leads to the generation of the active bathorhodopsin photostate i...
