It was long believed that the rotation of the "retinal molecule" was the first stage in vision. However, Prof. Mordechai Sheves of the Weizmann Institute’s Organic Chemistry Department revealed that the retinal protein’s structure changes even when rotation of its internal retinal molecule is prevented, suggesting that the visual process starts even earlier.

Chlorophyll molecules have been selected by nature over billions of years of evolution to help plants and certain bacteria utilize sunlight to drive the production of carbohydrates. Prof. Avigdor Scherz of the Weizmann Institute’s Plant Sciences Department and Prof. Yoram Salomon of the Biological Regulation Department have recently prepared chlorophyll derivatives that might also help save the eyesight of humans.
