Thermotropic phase transitions (phase changes induced by heat) were studied at frog ROS molecules appear to be completely disoriented, as though in solution. The physical changes underlying the transition phenomena seem related to the unbleached and bleached conditions of the ROS; with rising temperatures, the Tt point does not differ significantly in either condition.
