Resonance Raman studies of visual pigment analogues regenerated with 10-D, 10,11-D2, 11-D, 11,12-D2, 12-D, 15-D and 20,14-D4 isotopic derivatives of retinal were used to assign the intense hydrogen out-of-plane (HOOP) vibrations in the spectra of rhodopsin, isorhodopsin, and bathorhodopsin. Low temperature 77.degree. K photostationary steady-state experiments show that the unique 853-, 875-, and 921-cm-1 lines of bathorhodopsin are due to isolated 14, 10 and 11 HOOP wagging modes, respectively. The 12 HOOP wag could not be directly observed but must lie in the 830-860-cm-1 region, an unusually low frequency for this vibration. Room temperature rapid-flow experiments similarly demonstrate that the 969-cm-1 line in rhodopsin is due to the coupled C11H.dbd.C12H A2 HOOP. The 959-cm-1 line in isorhodopsin is attributed to a C7H.dbd.C8H Au HOOP. For bathorhodopsin, the small shift of the 11 HOOP wag with 12-D substitution (921 .fwdarw. 916 cm-1) clearly indicates that the 11 and 12 HOOPs are only weakly coupled. This contrasts sharply with the strong coupling observed between these wags in rhodopsin, isorhodopsin, and all-trans-retinal. Models depicting an 11-trans-retinal chromophore in bathorhodopsin with twists about chain single bonds are insufficient to account for these new observations. Taken together with previous results, this indicates that the bathorhodopsin chromophore has a twisted 11-trans structure that is significantly perturbed near C12 by its (presumably electrostatic) interaction with an opsin residue. Interpretation of the rhodopsin and bathorhodopsin HOOP intensities according to vibronic theory shows that the excited states of these pigments relax by an initial out-of-plane distortion of .apprx. 10.degree. along the enhanced HOOP coordinates. Because intense HOOP modes are not seen in model compounds, these out-of-plane distortions are induced by opsin. The HOOP intensities provide a direct indication of how the protein guides the excited-state relaxation of the rhodopsin and bathorhodopsin chromophores.
