A fluorophore attached to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor beta M2 detects productive binding of agonist to the alpha delta site [PDF]
To study conformational transitions at the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor (nAChR), a rhodamine fluorophore was tethered to a Cys side chain introduced at the beta-19' position in the M2 region of the nAChR expressed in Xenopus oocytes ...

Single GAF Domain Phytochrome Exhibits a pH‐Dependent Shunt on the Millisecond Timescale
During their light‐induced photocycle, phytochromes can engage in a thermal reversion back to the initially excited state, denoted as a shunt. This study investigates a pH‐dependent shunt transition in the Pfr state of the All2699g1 phytochrome from Nostoc punctiforme using UV/Vis laser flash photolysis and kinetic modeling. The findings suggest a keto‐

INFLUÊNCIA DA RIGIDEZ DO MEIO NA CINÉTICA DO FOTOCROMISMO DE DITIZONATOS METÁLICOS
The kinetics of photoisomerization and thermal back reaction of mercury(II) and zinc(II) dithizonates, M(HDz)2, were analyzed by photolysis assays in fluid solution and in poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, films.

Rates and Equilibria for a Photoisomerizable Antagonist at the Acetylcholine Receptor of Electrophorus Electroplaques [PDF]
Voltage-jump and light-flash experiments have been performed on isolated Electrophorus electroplaques exposed simultaneously to nicotinic agonists and to the photoisomerizable compound 2,2'-bis-[α-(trimethylammonium)methyl]-azobenzene (2BQ).

History-dependent nano-photoisomerization by optical near-field in photochromic single crystals
The history dependence of physical systems is promising for solving complex problems. To exploit spontaneous nanometre-scale optical memory for computation, the history dependence must be elucidated. Here, we demonstrate history-dependent or dynamic nano-

Anethole Isomerization and Dimerization Induced by Acid Sites or UV Irradiation
The formation of cis-anethole and various dimers as a result of the exposure of trans-anethole to microporous solid acids (dealuminated HY zeolites), or UV-Vis irradiation was established by means of high resolution gas chromatography coupled to mass ...

Diverse reactivity of maleimides in polymer science and beyond
This mini‐review provides a thorough overview of maleimide chemistry, highlighting its diverse reactivity in polymer and materials science applications. Abstract Maleimides are remarkably versatile functional groups, capable of participating in homo‐ and copolymerizations, Diels–Alder and (photo)cycloadditions, Michael additions, and other reactions ...
