- Abstract
- UV-sensitive cone visual pigments are widespread among vertebrates, including birds, fish, and rodents such as mice, and play essential roles in non-primate vision. Unlike visible-light pigments, which contain a protonated retinal Schiff base and absorb at 400-700 nm, UV pigments maintain a deprotonated Schiff base, but how this state is stabilized has remained unresolved.
