The photoreaction of rhodopsin regenerated with l l-cis-13-demethyl-retinal was investigated by FTIR difference spectroscopy. The measurements show that the chromophore experiences different twists in the modified bathorhodopsin as compared to normal bathorhodopsin and that the twists are relaxed .i

The photoreaction of vacuum-dried rhodopsin was monitored by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The results indicate that in dry rhodopsin, isorhodopsin and lumirhodopsin a protonation equilibrium exists between the protonated and the non-protonated Schiff base. On hydration the water stabilizes th
Lumiluteoskyrin, C30H20012, dark reddish purple crystals, m.p.7 360Β°, was obtained from luteoskyrin, C30H22012, yellow crystals, m.p.>360Β°,isolated from Penicillium islandicum Sopp, on exposing its acetonic solution under sunlight. In 1961 (1) a structural formula was forwarded for lumiluteoskyrin(1
