Functional Stoichiometry at the Nicotinic Receptor. The Photon Cross Section for Phase 1 Corresponds to Two Bis-Q Molecules per Channel [PDF]
These experiments examine changes in the agonist-induced conductance that occur when the agonist-receptor complex is perturbed. Voltage-clamped Electrophorus electroplaques are exposed to the photoisomerizable agonist trans-Bis-Q A 1-µs laser flash ...

Stability and Photoisomerization of Stilbenes Isolated from the Bark of Norway Spruce Roots
Stilbenes or stilbenoids, major polyphenolic compounds of the bark of Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst), have potential future applications as drugs, preservatives and other functional ingredients due to their antioxidative, antibacterial and ...

Spectroscopic and Computational Studies of Matrix-Isolated iso-CXBr3 (X=F,Cl,Br): Structure, Properties, and Photochemistry of Substituted Iso-Tribromomethanes [PDF]
Iso-polyhalomethanes are important reactive intermediates in the condensed and gas-phase chemistry of halomethanes. Building upon our recent study of iso-bromoform, in this work the substituted iso-tribromomethanes (iso-CXBr3; X = F, Cl, Br) were ...

Photoisomerization of a Fullerene Dimer
A photo-switchable fullerene dimer and its analogous nitrogen endohedral species have been synthesized and characterized. Irradiation by ultraviolet and visible light has been used to switch between the trans and cis isomers of both the C and N@C based dimers.

Phytochromes' ring D orientational changes are tracked during Z-to-E photoisomerization by polarization resolved femtosecond visible pump-infrared probe spectroscopy. Two distinct Pr isoforms Pr-I and Pr-II exhibit photoisomerization yields of 3% and 29%,

Blue light regenerates functional visual pigments in mammals through a retinyl-phospholipid intermediate. [PDF]
The light absorbing chromophore in opsin visual pigments is the protonated Schiff base of 11-cis-retinaldehyde (11cRAL). Absorption of a photon isomerizes 11cRAL to all-trans-retinaldehyde (atRAL), briefly activating the pigment before it dissociates ...

Photo-induced and thermal reactions in thin films of an azobenzene derivative on Bi(111)
Azobenzene is a prototypical molecular switch which can be interconverted with UV and visible light between a trans and a cis isomer in solution. While the ability to control their conformation with light is lost for many molecular photoswitches in the ...
