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.

• 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.

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

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

• 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.
