Molecular Switches Based on Molecular Inclusion

1998
The synthesis of calix[4]arene-based carceplexes via two different methods is described, as well as a method for modifying the behavior of guests after incarceration. A new approach for the development of a molecular switch is presented.

Molecular Electronics: Observation of Molecular Rectification

Science, 1993
The authors review some experiments in molecular rectification and their implication for commercial uses of molecular electronic devices. Two of the cases involve rectification by single molecules which consist of an electron donor on one side, an electron acceptor on the other side, and a bridge in between, coupled to electrodes.

Molecular Wires, Molecular Transducers and Molecular Devices

Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, 1995
With reference to biological systems, intelligent materials possess the ability, at the molecular level, to read and discriminate the chemical and physical informations from their environment, to store and process these informations, and finally to deliver an answer.

Molecular Metal Wires and Molecular Switches

19th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA'05) Volume 1 (AINA papers), 2005
Owing to their fascinating bonding nature, the metal-metal (M-M) multiple bonds in dinuclear metal complexes have been an interesting and vital research topic. During the past decade, our seminal and systematic approaches on the all-syn oligo-(/spl alpha/-pyridyl)amido ligands coordinated metal ions have successfully opened up a new chapter, extending ...

Molecular modelling and molecular dynamics of CFTR

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2016
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily that functions as an ATP-gated channel. Considerable progress has been made over the last years in the understanding of the molecular basis of the CFTR functions, as well as dysfunctions causing the common genetic

Molecular Tuning Nanoarchitectonics for Molecular Recognition and Molecular Manipulation

ChemNanoMat, 2020
AbstractAlthough forefront research fields on molecular machineries and nano‐manipulation have been developed, their current achievements stay mostly in basic science and are far from practical usages in daily life. In this short review, interfacial nanoarchitectonics for structural and functional tuning of molecular machines, molecular receptors, and ...

Molecular nanomagnets: towards molecular spintronics

International Journal of Nanotechnology, 2010
Molecular nanomagnets, often called single-molecule magnets, have attracted much interest in recent years both from experimental and theoretical point of view. These systems are organometallic clusters characterised by a large spin ground state with a predominant uniaxial anisotropy.

Molecular friction in an actomyosin molecular machine

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1990
In muscle contraction, it has been widely recognized that a binding state exists between myosin and actin in the presence of Mg-ATP. To estimate the magnitude of binding strength, I introduce a concept of frictional phenomena which occurs between two sliding bodies in contact each other.

From Molecular Electronics to Molecular Intelligence

ACS Nano
Molecular electronics is a field that explores the ultimate limits of electronic device dimensions by using individual molecules as operable electronic devices. Over the past five decades since the proposal of a molecular rectifier by Aviram and Ratner in 1974 ( Chem. Phys.

Molecular motors

Nature, 2003
Life implies movement. Most forms of movement in the living world are powered by tiny protein machines known as molecular motors. Among the best known are motors that use sophisticated intramolecular amplification mechanisms to take nanometre steps along protein tracks in the cytoplasm.
