A direct method for identifying free retinal has been used to separate the pathways in rhodopsin photolysis. At 3°C, pH 7.0, in digitonin 75% of bovine rhodopsin proceeds through Meta III465before hydrolysis, while 25% decays more rapidly to retinal plus opsin. Similar percentages are found in excised retinas (Bufo marinus). The most likely source of the retinal is a secondary pathway in Meta II380thermal decay. The pathways for bovine rhodopsin are pH dependent with a transition point at pH 6.8 (42% more rapidly to retinal at pH 6.5). These data also suggest that the extinction coefficients for Meta III465and rhodopsin are approximately the same.
