The 13 pages that link to Opsin, each with the reason it gives.

• Color visionRelated: How each opsin's absorption spectrum is tuned decides what its cone detects.

• Cone cellNarrower topic: Cone photopsins are members of this broader family of visual proteins.

• Photoreceptor cellRelated: Different opsins help set the wavelengths to which photoreceptors are most sensitive.

• RetinalRelated: The protein pocket fixes retinal’s starting geometry and translates its change into signaling.

• TrichromacyRelated: Small opsin differences separate the three cone classes' peak sensitivities.

• X chromosomeBroader topic: The X chromosome carries the genes for the long- and medium-wavelength cone opsins.

• OptogeneticsNarrower topic: Optogenetic actuators are engineered or adapted from this broader protein family.

• RhodopsinBroader topic: Rhodopsin consists of the rod-cell opsin protein bound to retinal.

• AchromatopsiaRelated: Cone opsins provide wavelength sensitivity in ordinary color vision.

• TetrachromacyRelated: Differences in cone opsins can produce distinct wavelength sensitivities.

• Har Gobind KhoranaBroader topic: Khorana later studied the membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin and the molecular basis of light-driven processes.

• DichromacyRelated: Cone opsins determine spectral sensitivities, and variants can disrupt one signal class.

• Simple eyeRelated: Opsins detect photons in the photoreceptor cells of many simple eyes.
