Rhodopsins are light-sensitive molecules composed of a protein (opsin) and retinal (derivative of vitamin a). opsin is a membrane protein with several alpha-helical segments that loop back and forth through the plasma membrane. there are two classes of rhodopsins. according to oded beje, one class has relatively slow dynamics (a photocycle of approximately 0.5 second) and is well suited for light detection. the second class has faster dynamics (a photocycle of approximately 0.02 seconds) and is well suited for chemiosmosis-pumping of protons or chloride ions across cell membranes. oded beje was the first, in september 2000, to report on a rhodopsin (proteorhodopsin) found in the domain bacteria. [source: o. beje et al., science 289 (2000): 1902.] proteorhodopsin consists of a single polypeptide chain. what is the highest level of structure found in this protein?

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?
