From photoisomerization to logic operations: a theoretical study of pseudo-hemiindigo derivatives [PDF]
Frontiers in ChemistryOver the last decades the hemiindigo photoswitches, derived from indigo dye, have gained attention because they uniquely absorb visible light in both isomeric states, making them suitable when high-energy UV light is undesirable.

Non-Covalent Reversibly Photoconvertible Fluorescent Tags for Wash-Free Protein Labeling. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)FAST proteins combined with one or two fluorogens undergo reversible fluorescence switching or photoconversion through photoisomerization. At low fluorogen concentration and high light intensity, they act as negative or positive photoswitchers and photoconvertible tags, which are promising for discriminating FAST variants.
