For example, the cAMP receptor of the colonial amoeba Dictyostelium, the non-rhodopsin closest in structure to the channel opsins such as the one used to restore vision in mice (Gehring 2004), binds to a transducin family adaptor protein, but also initiates ion influx in an adaptor protein-independent manner (Brzostowski & Kimmel 2001).

Researchers say they were able to "freeze frame" interactions between rhodopsin and transducin to study it and find out what goes "wrong at the molecular level in certain [vision] disorders."

This freezing involved "isolating rhodopsin / transducin directly from bovine retinas" and exposing it to light to activate the chemical signaling process.

After light exposure, any contaminating proteins were removed, and the remaining rhodopsin and transducin "locked" in their chemical communication were removed using a centrifuge.
