Illustrations of rhodopsin protein structures in five different species (IMAGE)
Caption
Proteins common in multiple species were compared to understand the relationship between how proteins change shape, both over seconds or minutes and throughout evolution. The image shows the light-detecting protein rhodopsin in five different species as well as an overlay to reveal how the protein structure has changed with evolution.
