ab initio modeling of open systems: charge transfer, electron conduction, and molecular switching of a C_{60} device [PDF]
, 2000 We present an {\it ab initio} analysis of electron conduction through a $C_{60}$ molecular device. Charge transfer from the device electrodes to the molecular region is found to play a crucial role in aligning the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital ...

MiR-218: A Molecular Switch and Potential Biomarker of Susceptibility to Stress
bioRxiv, 2019 Low miR-218 expression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is a consistent trait of depression. Here we assessed whether miR-218 in the mPFC confers resilience or susceptibility to depression-like behaviors in adult mice, using the chronic social ...

Electrochemical control of quantum interference in anthraquinone-based molecular switches [PDF]
, 2010 Using first-principles calculations we analyze the electronic transport properties of a recently proposed anthraquinone based electrochemical switch. Robust conductance on/off ratios of several orders of magnitude are observed due to destructive quantum ...

Nucleic acid molecular switches
Trends in Biotechnology, 1999 Natural and artificial ribozymes can catalyse a diverse range of chemical reactions. Through recent efforts in enzyme engineering, it has become possible to tailor the activity of ribozymes to respond allosterically to specific effector compounds. These allosteric ribozymes function as effector-dependent molecular switches that could find application ...

Tuning the conductance of a molecular switch
, 2007 The ability to control the conductance of single molecules will have a major impact in nanoscale electronics. Azobenzene, a molecule that changes conformation as a result of a trans/cis transition when exposed to radiation, could form the basis of a ...

Transient dynamics of molecular devices under step-like pulse bias [PDF]
, 2009 We report first principles investigation of time-dependent current of molecular devices under a step-like pulse.Our results show that although the switch-on time of the molecular device is comparable to the transit time, much longer time is needed to ...
