The photocycle of a reversible photoisomerizing rhodopsin mimic (M2) is investigated. This system, based on the cellular retinoic acid binding protein, is structurally different from natural rhodopsin systems, but exhibits a similar isomerization upon light irradiation. More specifically, M2 displays a 15-cis to all-trans conversion of retinal protonated Schiff base (rPS and all-trans to 15-cis isomerization of unprotonated Schiff base (rUS. Here we use hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) tools coupled with tr
