Molecular switches and cages [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2012 Molecular switches can toggle between two (or more) stable states encoding different physical features. They allow complex systems to respond to changes in their environment defined by light intensity, pH, temperature or voltage. As such, molecular switches play a key role in biology and information technology and have become important components of ...

Molecular Rotors as Switches [PDF]
Sensors, 2012 The use of a functional molecular unit acting as a state variable provides an attractive alternative for the next generations of nanoscale electronics. It may help overcome the limits of conventional MOSFETd due to their potential scalability, low-cost ...

Indandiazocines: Unidirectional molecular switches [PDF]
ScienceOpen Research, 2015 We report theoretical investigations on azobenzene-based indandiazocines, novel chiral systems that perform unidirectional cis↔trans isomerizations upon photo-excitation. For three different systems of this kind, we have simulated excited-state surface-

MicroRNAs as Molecular Switches in Macrophage Activation [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 The efficacy of macrophage- mediated inflammatory response relies on the coordinated expression of key factors, which expression is finely regulated at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Several studies have provided compelling evidence
