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.

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 ...
