Conductance of a single molecule anchored by an isocyanide substituent to gold electrodes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The effect of anchoring group on the electrical conductance of a single molecule bridging two Au electrodes was studied using di-substituted (isocyanide (CN-), thiol (S-) or cyanide (NC-)) benzene.

Optocontrol of glutamate receptor activity by single side-chain photoisomerization

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Engineering light-sensitivity into proteins has wide ranging applications in molecular studies and neuroscience. Commonly used tethered photoswitchable ligands, however, require solvent-accessible protein labeling, face structural constrains, and are ...

Two-Photon Excitation of Azobenzene Photoswitches for Synthetic Optogenetics

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Synthetic optogenetics is an emerging optical technique that enables users to photocontrol molecules, proteins, and cells in vitro and in vivo. This is achieved by use of synthetic chromophores—denoted photoswitches—that undergo light ...

2D-IR Study of a Photoswitchable Isotope-Labeled α-Helix [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A series of photoswitchable, α-helical peptides were studied using two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR). Single-isotope labeling with 13C18O at various positions in the sequence was employed to spectrally isolate particular backbone positions ...

Robust photoregulation of GABA(A) receptors by allosteric modulation with a propofol analogue. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Photochemical switches represent a powerful method for improving pharmacological therapies and controlling cellular physiology. Here we report the photoregulation of GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs) by a derivative of propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol), a ...

Modulation of α1β3γ2 GABAA receptors expressed in X. laevis oocytes using a propofol photoswitch tethered to the transmembrane helix

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Mechanisms of anesthesia remain obscure. We developed a β-subunit-specific tethered photoswitch containing the widely used anesthetic, propofol, to study the anesthetic mechanisms through γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors critical

Vinylene-Linked Covalent Organic Frameworks by Base-Catalyzed Aldol Condensation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Two 2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) linked by vinylene (−CH=CH−) groups (V‐COF‐1 and V‐COF‐2) are synthesized by exploiting the electron deficient nature of the aromatic s‐triazine unit of C3‐symmetric 2,4,6‐trimethyl‐s‐triazine (TMT).

Supramolecular hierarchy among halogen and hydrogen bond donors in light-induced surface patterning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Halogen bonding, a noncovalent interaction possessing several unique features compared to the more familiar hydrogen bonding, is emerging as a powerful tool in functional materials design.

A sensitive red/far-red photoswitch for controllable gene therapy in mouse models of metabolic diseases

open access: yesbioRxiv
Red light optogenetic systems are in high demand for the precise control of gene expression for gene- and cell-based therapies. Here, we report a red/far-red light-inducible photoswitch (REDLIP) system based on the chimeric photosensory protein FnBphP ...
