Temperature dependency of light adaptation in bullfrog cone photoreceptors.
Isolated, superfused bullfrog retinas were stimulated in such a manner as to allow examination of the dynamics of the shift in the stimulus-response curve that accompanies light adaptation of cone photoreceptors. Observed phenomena were highly temperature dependent with complex Arrhenius relationships, suggesting that the mechanisms responsible for the shift involve multiple enzyme systems.
