Abstract
⺠Solid-state 2H NMR probes dynamics of retinal ligand. ⺠Molecular simulations test specific counterion models for rhodopsin. ⺠NMR relaxation theory and molecular dynamics are complementary. ⺠Quantum mechanical calculations address the retinal force field. ⺠Rhodopsin activation is described by ensemble mechanism.
