Neutron diffraction measurements on isolated retinal rod outer segments show that most of the visual pigment protein, rhodopsin, is embedded in the hydrophobic core of the disk membrane. A very slight outward shift of protein at the cytoplasmic side of the membrane is associated with pigment bleaching.
对分离出的视网膜视杆细胞外段进行的中子衍射测量表明,大多数视觉色素蛋白即视紫红质,嵌入在盘状膜的疏水核心中。膜细胞质一侧的蛋白质有非常轻微的向外移动,这与色素漂白有关。
