✦ Synopsis

In a model calculation pullmg 1 I+IS retinal (g-c& retinal) from both end sides, the 1 I-12 double bond (9-10 double bond) is found to be selectively twisted This property IS promismg for the tmtmg mechanism of retinal chromophore in visual pigment as assumed by the Kakitani and Kakltani torsion modeL

## Abstract In this work, we have evaluated the effect of the new discovered peptide obestatin on cell proliferation in primary cultures of human retinal epithelial cells (hRPE cells). The results showed that this peptide induced, in a dose‐dependent manner, cell proliferation by MEK/ERK 1/2 phosph
