Optimizing photoswitchable MEK [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 SignificanceControlling access to the active sites of kinases using photo-dimerizable domains revolutionizes the types of possible optogenetic perturbations of cell signaling. This technology, however, is useful only when there is strong kinase activity to harness.

Photoswitchable Anapole Metasurfaces
Advanced Optical Materials, 2021 AbstractNonradiating charge‐current configurations have attracted attention in photonics for the efficient localization of the electromagnetic field. Anapole mode is a unique nonradiating state of light induced by the interference of electric and toroidal dipole that possesses rich physics with potential applications in micro‐nanophotonics.

Photoswitching neutral homoaromatic hydrocarbons [PDF]
Nature Chemistry, 2022 Abstract Homoaromatic compounds possess an interrupted π system but display aromatic properties due to through-space or through-bond interactions. Stable neutral homoaromatic hydrocarbons have remained rare and are typically unstable.

Enlightening Materials with Photoswitches [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2020 AbstractIncorporating molecular photoswitches into various materials provides unique opportunities for controlling their properties and functions with high spatiotemporal resolution using remote optical stimuli. The great and largely still untapped potential of these photoresponsive systems has not yet been fully exploited due to the fundamental ...

Photoswitchable mixed valence [PDF]
Chemical Society Reviews, 2012 For a molecular electronics technology to be fully serviceable, switching functions will be indispensable. Specifically, it will be desirable to control the conductivity of a given molecule using an external stimulus. This tutorial review discusses photoswitchable mixed valence systems that are comprised of a reversibly photoisomerizable bridging unit ...

Short Photoswitchable Antibacterial Peptides
ChemMedChem, 2020 AbstractThree photoswitchable tetrapeptides, based on a known synthetic antibacterial, were designed and synthesized to determine activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Each peptide contains an azobenzene photoswitch incorporated into either the N‐terminal side chain (1), C‐terminal side chain (2), or the C‐terminus (3) to allow reversible switching ...

Breaking the photoswitch speed limit
Nature Communications, 2023 The forthcoming generation of materials, including artificial muscles, recyclable and healable systems, photochromic heterogeneous catalysts, or tailorable supercapacitors, relies on the fundamental concept of rapid switching between two or more discrete
