In order to observe the 13C retinal chromophore resonances, it was necessary to employ low temperatures (-15—»·-35 C) to restrict rotational diffusion of the protein. The isotropic chemical shift and principal values of the chemical shift tensor of the 13C-5 label indicate that the retinal chromophore is in the twisted 6-s-cis conformation in rhodopsin, in contrast to the planar 6-s-trans conformation found in bacteriorhodopsin. The 13C-14 isotropic shift and shift tensor principal values show that the Schiff base C= N bond is anti. Furthermore, the 13C-14 chemical shift (121.2 ppm) is within the range of values (120-123 ppm) exhibited by protonated (C= N anti) Schiff base model compounds, indicating that the C= N linkage is protonated. Our results are discussed with regard to the mechanism of wavelength regulation in rhodopsin.
