From:E to Z and back again: Reversible photoisomerisation of an isolated charge-tagged azobenzene [PDF]
Substituted azobenzenes serve as chromophores and actuators in a wide range of molecular photoswitches. Here, tandem ion mobility spectrometry coupled with laser excitation is used to investigate the photoisomerisation of selected E and Z isomers of the ...

Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects
Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

Boosting Reversible Photocontrol of a Photoxenase by an Engineered Conformational Shift
Photocontrol of enzymes with photoswitchable unnatural amino acids hitherto yielded only limited light‐regulation factors (LRFs). Here we boosted the LRF of an imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase variant from ∼15 to ∼100 in a semi‐rational design approach and unraveled the mechanistic fundamentals of this effect via biophysical and computational ...

Fluorescent proteins: A journey from the cell to extreme environments in material science
Applications of proteins and microorganisms as tools or effectors in material science. Abstract This review presents the progression from the use of fluorescent proteins (FPs) and chromoproteins as bioimaging labels and sensors to the strategic engineering of their properties for robust functionality in synthetic and non‐biological environments ...
