Abstract

The relation between the changes in amplitude oflate receptor potentialand the concentrations ofrhodopsinintermediates were studied in the isolatedbullfrog retinaby simultaneous measurement of the electrical response and spectral change. As a result, the amplitude ofrodreceptor potential in the time course of response decay is proportional to the log of 380-nm absorbing product concentration and inversely proportional to the log of the fraction of bleached rhodopsin. Possible mechanisms generating the rod response are discussed and it is suggested that the decay of rod receptor potential is related to the decay of rhodopsin intermediates.
