Biochemistry 2001, 40, 7761-7772). This prevents efficient conjugation of the β-ionone double bond with the rest of the conjugated chain, making 1 a realistic model for retinal PSBs, at least under isolated conditions.

Their direction is a function of the geometry of the chromophore in space. While in Rh the chromophore is highly twisted, chromophore model 1 used in our computations is planar. This may affect quantitatively the value of the computed transition dipole directions, making comparison with the observed values not strictly correct. Still, we believe that the behavior and progress of transition dipole directions along the path is qualitatively reproduced, allowing a qualitative comparison with experiments.

40. 1 energy plateau of Figure 1 (centered on SP). Population of more twisted configurations along the plateau would increase (decrease) the wavelength of the fluorescent (absorption) maxima. Thus, the predicted fluorescence value under isolated conditions is 623 nm for a 18° twisted structure, and ∼830 nm after scaling by the observed opsin shift in bR (112 nm = 570 nm - 458 nm).
