In the sauger, Stizostedion canadense, the tapetum lucidum of the retina was found to be more highly developed than in the walleye, S. vitreum vitreum. The tapetum is uniformly distributed throughout the sauger's eye, whereas it reaches a comparable development only in the ventral region of the walleye's retina. Other structural differences also suggested that the sauger's retina is more sensitive to light than the walleye's. In both species, photomechanical changes in response to light- and dark-adaptation were restricted to the retinal epithelial pigment (melanin) and the rods. Electroretinographic recordings appeared to be correlated with the differences in tapetal development and habits of the two species.

A review of the literature indicated contrasts in retinal structure and function between perches (Perca spp.) and pikeperches (Stizostedion spp.). Foremost among these were differences in size and distribution of rods, size and shape of cones, extent of retinomotor responses, possession or lack of reflecting material, and relative concentrations of melanin. The perches are primarily active by daylight, whereas the pikeperches are most active during twilight or at night. The coincidental occupancy of shoal areas by yellow perch (Perca flavescens) and walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) at twilight is related to decreasing visual acuity of the former and the approach of optimum visual performance in the latter species. On this basis the two species have a classic predator–prey relationship.

AbstractObjectiveWe identify the impacts of structural differences on functionality of EG3_S2 endoglucanase enzyme with MD studies. The results of previous experimental studies have been explained in details with computational approach. The objective of this study is to explain the functional differences between shuffled enzyme (EG3_S2) and its native counterpart (EG3_nat) from Trichoderma reseei, via Molecular Dynamics approach.Materials and methodsFor this purpose, we performed MD simulations along 30 ns at three different reaction temperatures collected as NpT ensemble, and then monitored the backbone motion, flexibilities of residues, and intramolecular interactions of EG3_S2 and EG3_nat enzymes.ResultsAccording to MD results, we conclude that EG3_S2 and EG3_nat enzymes have unique RMSD patterns, e.g. RMSD pattern of EG3_S2 is more dynamic than that of EG3_nat at all temperatures. In addition to this dynamicity, EG3_S2 establishes more salt bridge interactions than EG3_nat.ConclusionBy taking these results into an account with the preservation of catalytic Glu residues in a proper manner, we explain the structural basis of differences between shuffled and native enzyme via molecular dynamic studies.
