## Abstract Molecular dynamics simulations and combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical calculations have been performed to investigate the mechanism of the opsin shift and spectral tuning in rhodopsin. A red shift of −980 cm^−1^ was estimated in the transfer of the chromophore from met
