We analyzed structure of a mouse UV sensitive cone pigment using FTIR spectroscopy at 77 K and revealed a hydrophobic environment around the retinal chromophore. This is thought to be involved in UV perseption.

we performed low-temperature FTIR measurements on rhodopsin microcrystals, which is used in time-resolved X-ray crystallography.
Compared with native membranes, we clarified the effect of crystallization on structural changes.
