Earth used
retinal,
rather than chlorophyll, to
convert sunlight into energy.
Because retinal absorbs mostly green light and
transmits purple light, this...

Astrobiologists have
suggested that
retinal pigments may
serve as
remote biosignatures in
exoplanet research. The
Purple Earth hypothesis has

- In
April 2007, it was
suggested that
early archaea may have used
retinal, a
purple pigment,
instead of chlorophyll, to
extract energy from the sun. If...

retinal and an apoprotein, he
called it opsin,
