Spatial and temporal control over chemical and biological processes plays a key role in life,
where the whole is often much more than the sum of its parts. Quite trivially, the molecules of …

In quantum mechanochemistry, quantum chemical methods are used to describe molecules
under the influence of an external force. The calculation of geometries, energies, transition …

Die zeitliche und räumliche Kontrolle über chemische und biologische Prozesse spielt eine
Schlüsselrolle im Leben, wo das Ganze oft viel mehr ist als die Summe seiner Einzelteile …

A major challenge in photocontrol is to combine a large conformational change with
complete bidirectional photoswitching.[1] The azobenzene chromophore undergoes a large …

The photoisomerization of azobenzene has been used to control a wide variety of molecular
processes.[1] It has been applied to the photocontrol of biomolecular targets (peptides …

The ability to reversibly control protein structure and function with light would offer high
spatiotemporal resolution for investigating biological processes. To confer …

Supramolecular glue: The photoinduced isomerization of difunctional azobenzenes can be
used to induce and reverse the molecular recognition and adhesion of bilayer vesicles …

Mismatch is fine: Proline derivatives with a ring pucker mismatching that of natural collagen
but with favorable torsional angles along the peptide chain are readily tolerated within the …

Azobenzenes, which exist in the form of trans and cis isomers and can be isomerized by
irradiation with UV/Vis light, form one of the largest and most widely studied classes of …

Proline residues have long been recognized to play a unique and important role in the
structural properties of peptides and proteins. The cis/trans isomerization of the aminoacyl …
