Creating small-molecule-dependent switches to modulate biological functions.
Biological small-molecule-dependent switches sense external chemical signals and transduce them into appropriate internal signals and cellular responses. Artificial molecular switches that control the function of any protein of interest using a small molecule are powerful tools for studying biology because they enable cellular responses to be controlled by inputs chosen by researcher. Furthermo...
متن کاملSmall-molecule switches for zinc finger transcription factors.
We have developed a general approach to generate selective small-molecule switches for zinc finger transcription factors based on the notion of structural complementation. A small molecule, 2-(4'-quinoline)benzimidazole (7), was identified by screening of a heterocycle library, which functionally rescues a structurally compromised transcription factor C7-F116A/H125G-VP16. Compound 7 induces the...
متن کاملTowards single molecule switches.
The concept of using single molecules as key building blocks for logic gates, diodes and transistors to perform basic functions of digital electronic devices at the molecular scale has been explored over the past decades. However, in addition to mimicking the basic functions of current silicon devices, molecules often possess unique properties that have no parallel in conventional materials and...

متن کاملSingle-Molecule Graphene Switches
A source of single photons that meets three important criteria for use in quantum-information systems has been unveiled in China by an international team of physicists. Based on a quantum dot, the device is an efficient source of photons that emerge as solo particles that are indistinguishable from each other. The researchers are now trying to use the source to create a quantum computer based o...
