Experimental Verification for 1gzm » Rhodopsin
Results are consitent with X-ray scattering (Blaurock and Wilkins 1972), chemical modification (Barclay and Findlay 1984, Davison and Findlay 1986a,b) and electron microscopy (Krebs et al. 2003) studies. Hydrophobic boundaries of rhodopsin expand when calculated with detergent parameters (Figure 4), in agreement with results of Hubbell et al. (2003).
