Abstract
Although many of the biochemical reactions involved in phototransduction have been characterized, the identity of the ligand of the light-induced current is still unknown. The present study addresses the issue of which ligand activates the light-induced sodium current in
Hermissenda by developing a model of the biochemical reactions involved in phototransduction, and examining the dynamics of the light-induced current in response to various ligands such as calcium and IP
3. The results show that IP
3, but not calcium, is a plausible ligand for the light-induced sodium current, and IP
3 production is co-localized with the sodium channel.
