Photoswitchable Peptides as Molecular Tools to Encode Structural Order and Disorder in Intracellular Assemblies. [PDF]
We present a photoswitchable peptide conjugate which exhibits isomerism‐dependent self‐assembly: the planar trans‐isomer assembles into well‐ordered nanofibers while the non‐planar cis‐isomer yields disordered aggregates. Our study offers a direct visualization on the effects of structure formation inside living cells.

Optical Control of Translation with a Puromycin-Photoswitch
Translation is an elementary cellular process that involves a large number of factors interacting in a concerted fashion with the ribosome. Numerous natural products have emerged that interfere with ribosomal function, such as puromycin, which mimics an ...

Photomodulation Approaches to Overcome Antimicrobial Resistance
Photopharmacology is an approach that aims to be an alternative to classical chemotherapy. Herein, the different classes of photoswitches and photocleavage compounds and their biological applications are described. Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs)

Ultrafast generation and decay of a surface metal [PDF]
Band bending at semiconductor surfaces induced by chemical doping or electric fields can create metallic surfaces with properties not found in the bulk, such as high electron mobility, magnetism or superconductivity.

Photoswitchable mixed valence [PDF]
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 ...

Synthesis of 4-substituted azopyridine-functionalized Ni(II)-porphyrins as molecular spin switches
We present the synthesis and the spin switching efficiencies of Ni(II)-porphyrins substituted with azopyridines as covalently attached photoswitchable ligands. The molecules are designed in such a way that the azopyridines coordinate to the Ni ion if the

Short Photoswitchable Antibacterial Peptides
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 ...
