Retinal Schiff bases serve as chromophores in many photoactive proteins that carry out functions such as signalling and light-induced ion translocation. The retinal Schiff base can be found as neutral or protonated, as all-trans, 11-cis or 13-cis isomers

Artificial bacteriorhodopsin (bR) pigments based on synthetic retinal analogues with selectively blocked single and double bonds were prepared.It was shown that rotations around single bonds C12-C13 and C10-C11 and isomerizations of C11=C12 and C9=C10 are
