Reversibly Switching Molecular Spectra
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2018Manipulation of light transmission/absorbance and reflection/emission has a great significance in smart windows and displaying media like liquid crystal. Here, we report the usage of an external electric field to reversibly switch the molecular spectra of a model molecule on the basis of its interaction with an electroresponsible polymer brush.

Visible‐Light‐Activated Molecular Switches
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2015AbstractThe ability to influence key properties of molecular systems by using light holds much promise for the fields of materials science and life sciences. The cornerstone of such systems is molecules that are able to reversibly photoisomerize between two states, commonly referred to as photoswitches.

Organic-based molecular switches for molecular electronics
Nanoscale, 2011In a general sense, molecular electronics (ME) is the branch of nanotechnology which studies the application of molecular building blocks for the fabrication of electronic components. Among the different types of molecules, organic compounds have been revealed as promising candidates for ME, due to the easy access, great structural diversity and ...

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2019
Molecular switches in GPCRs enable passing the signal from the agonist binding site, usually located close to the extracellular surface, to the intracellular part of the receptor. The switches are usually associated with conserved structural motifs on transmembrane helices (TMs), and they are accompanied by adjacent residues which provide the signal to

Molecular Switches Based on Molecular Inclusion
1998The 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 Switches in Troponin
1998The contraction of vertebrate striated muscle contraction, and hence its work output, is controlled by Ca2+, which binds to troponin (Tn) associated with tropomyosin (TM) and actin in the thin filaments. Tn consists of three subunits: TnC, the Ca(2+)-receptor; TnI, an inhibitor of actomyosin activity; and TnT, anchoring Tn to TM.

Spatial periodicity in molecular switching
Nature Nanotechnology, 2008The ultimate miniaturization of future devices will require the use of functional molecules at the nanoscale and their integration into larger architectures. Switches represent a prototype of such functional molecules because they exhibit characteristic states of different physical/chemical properties, which can be addressed reversibly.

Charge transport through molecular switches
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2010We review the fascinating research on charge transport through switchable molecules. In the past decade, detailed investigations have been performed on a great variety of molecular switches, including mechanically interlocked switches (rotaxanes and catenanes), redox-active molecules and photochromic switches (e.g. azobenzenes and diarylethenes).

Molecular mechanisms of hemoglobin switching
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1996The developmental regulation of the human beta-globin cluster embodies all aspects of transcriptional control of eukaryotic genes. The cis-acting sequences within the cluster, distal regulatory regions and trans-acting factors all contribute to provide stringent temporal and tissue-specific expression. This review will examine the individual regulatory
