Azobenzene-based chloride transporters with light-controllable activities.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Synthetic chloride transporters containing two urea groups linked through a diazobenzene spacer have been prepared and the trans-to-cis isomerization by light stimulation results in dramatic changes in the chloride transport activities across lipid and cell membranes.

An azobenzene-based photochromic liquid crystalline amphiphile for a remote-controllable light shutter.
By considering intramolecular conformations and intermolecular interactions, an azobenzene-based photochromic liquid crystalline amphiphile is synthesized for demonstrating a remote-controllable light shutter by the photo-induced isothermal phase transition between the highly ordered crystal phase and the isotropic liquid phase.
متن کاملReprogramming an ATP-driven protein machine into a light-gated nanocage
Natural protein assemblies have many sophisticated architectures and functions, creating nanoscale storage containers, motors and pumps. Inspired by these systems, protein monomers have been engineered to self-assemble into supramolecular architectures including symmetrical, metal-templated and cage-like structures. The complexity of protein machines, however, has made it difficult to create as...
متن کاملMulti-responsible chameleon molecule with chiral naphthyl and azobenzene moieties.
A photochromic chiral molecule with azobenzene mesogens and a (R)-configuration naphthyl moiety (abbreviated as NCA2M) was specifically designed and synthesized for the demonstration of chameleon-like color changes responding to multitudinous external stimuli, such as temperature, light and electric field. The basic phase transition behaviors of NCA2M were first studied by the combination of di...
متن کاملMultistimuli responsive organogels based on a reactive azobenzene gelator.
A reactive azobenzene based super organogelator was found to rapidly and reversibly transform a range of hydrophobic solvents from gels to solutions upon changes in temperature, light and shear force. More specifically they formed gels at concentrations as low as 0.08 wt%. Upon heating, exposure to UV light, or application of shear, the π-π bonding was disrupted which resulted in a rapid drop o...
متن کاملUsing photons to manipulate enzyme inhibition by an azobenzene-modified nucleic acid probe.
The ability to inhibit an enzyme in a specific tissue with high spatial resolution combined with a readily available antidote should find many biomedical applications. We have accomplished this by taking advantage of the cis-trans photoisomerization of azobenzene molecules. Specifically, we positioned azobenzene moieties within the DNA sequence complementary to a 15-base-long thrombin aptamer a...
