This tutorial review reports on model systems that have been synthesised and investigated
for elucidating how opsin proteins tune the absorption of the protonated retinal Schiff base …

Background: The failure rate for healing after rotator cuff repair is relatively high. Purpose: To
establish a system for sustained release of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) using an …

Reversible photocontrol of biomolecules requires chromophores that can efficiently undergo
large conformational changes upon exposure to wavelengths of light that are compatible …

Two copper (II) complexes (Cu-L1, Cu-L2) derived from 2, 3-substituted quinazolinone Schiff
base ligands (L1, L2) were prepared to examine their anticancer activity. Compounds were …

Molecular dynamics simulations and combined quantum mechanical and molecular
mechanical calculations have been performed to investigate the mechanism of the opsin …

Abstract A series of novel 2, 3-di-substituted-2, 3-dihydro-quinazolin-4 (1 H)-one derived
Schiff's bases (1–7) have been designed, synthesized and characterized on the basis of …

We have studied the gas-phase absorption properties of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)
chromophore in its neutral (protonated) charge state in a heavy-ion storage ring. To …

Retinal chromophores are the photoactive molecular units of visual and archaeal
rhodopsins, an important class of light-activated biological photoreceptors. Extensive …

The chemical industry is one of the key elements in improving the quality of human life. At
the same time, it generates pollution influencing the ecosystem and our health. To limit or …

We report on gas-phase experimental and theoretical studies on the neutral form of the
green-fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore using six different models, each carrying a …
