Identification of a Non-Retinoid Opsin Ligand Through Pharmacophore-Guided Virtual Screening—A Novel Potential Rhodopsin-Stabilizing Compound
Rhodopsin, a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) comprising the protein opsin covalently linked to the chromophore 11-cis retinal, is pivotal in visual phototransduction. Mutations in the gene encoding rhodopsin (RHO) can cause opsin misfolding or reduce its stability, resulting in retinal degenerativ...
