Abstract
Background: The relationship between the properties of visual pigment and photoreceptor amplification efficiency is controversial. Results: Rhodopsin activates G protein more efficiently than cone pigments. Conclusion: Visual pigment properties are directly related to the photoreceptor sensitivity diversification. Significance: Amplification of cell responses is regulated by receptor molecules.
