Iodopsin can replace its chromophore (11-cisretinal) by added 9-cisretinal, resulting in the formation of isoiodopsin. NaBH4bleaches iodopsin in the dark. In a relatively low concentration of digitonin, the scotopsin (the protein moiety of chicken rhodopsin) removes 11-cisretinal from isopsin in the iodopsin These facts suggests that the linkage of the chromophore to opsin in the iodopsin molecule (presumably a Schiff-base linkage) is accessible to these reagents, which is different from the situation in rhodopsin.
