Abstract

Retinoid cycle describes a set of chemical transformations that occur in the photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelial cells. The hydrophobic and labile nature of the retinoid substrates and the two-cell chromophore utilization-regeneration system imposes significant constraints on the experimental biochemical approaches employed to understand this process. A brief description of the recent developments in the investigation of the retinoid cycle is the current topic, which includes a review of novel results and techniques pertaining to the retinoid cycle. The chemistry of the all- trans-retinol to 11- cis-retinol isomerization is also discussed.
