We report here the regeneration of the visual pigments of mouse, rat, goldfish and pigeon, which have wavelengths of maximal absorption at 359 nm, 358 nm, 359 nm, and 393 nm, respectively. The construction and functional assays of the ultraviolet or near-ultraviolet pigments from a wide range of vertebrate species will allow us to study the molecular bases of ultraviolet vision for the first time.
我们在此报告了小鼠、大鼠、金鱼和鸽子视觉色素的再生情况，它们的最大吸收波长分别为359纳米、358纳米、359纳米和393纳米。对多种脊椎动物物种的紫外线或近紫外线色素进行构建和功能测定，将使我们首次能够研究紫外线视觉的分子基础。
