Azobenzene photoisomerization-induced destabilization of B-DNA.
Molecular photoswitches provide a promising way for selective regulation of nanoscaled biological systems. It has been shown that conformational changes of azobenzene, one of the widely used photoswitches, can be used to reversibly control DNA duplex formation. Here, we investigate the conformational response of DNA upon azobenzene binding and isomerization, using a threoninol linker that has b...
متن کاملPinning effect for photoisomerization of a dicationic azobenzene derivative by anionic sites of the clay surface.
The photoisomerization behaviour of a dicationic azobenzene derivative on the inorganic surface was examined. The isomerization reaction was controlled by the charged array of the inorganic surface due to the "pinning effect" because of the electrostatic interaction between anionic charged sites on the inorganic surface and cationic charged sites in dye molecules.
متن کاملPhotoisomerization of azobenzene derivatives in nanostructured silica.
A series of derivatized azobenzene molecules are synthesized such that one of the phenyl groups can be chemically bonded to mesostructured silica and the other, derivatized with dendrons, is free to undergo large-amplitude light-driven motion. The silica frameworks on which the motion takes place are either 150 nm thick films containing ordered hexagonal arrays of tubes (inner diameter about 2 ...

15 صفحه اولLocal Density Fluctuations Predict Photoisomerization Quantum Yield of Azobenzene-Modified DNA.
Azobenzene incorporated into DNA has a photoisomerization quantum yield that depends on the DNA sequence near the azobenzene attachment site. We use Molecular Dynamics computer simulations to elucidate which physical properties of the modified DNA determine the quantum yield. We show for a wide range of DNA sequences that the photoisomerization quantum yield is strongly correlated with the vari...
