The photoisomerization of azobenzene has been known for almost 75 years but only
recently has this process been widely applied to biological systems. The central challenge of …

Molecular photoswitches are a class of chemical structures that can readily isomerize
between distinct geometries upon irradiation with light. Molecular photoswitches are utilized …

Pharmacotherapy is often severely hindered by issues related to poor drug selectivity,
including side effects, environmental toxicity, and the emergence of resistance. Lack of …

Light-induced chemical processes are ubiquitous in nature and have widespread
technological applications. For example, photoisomerization can allow a drug with a photo …

PIEZO proteins are unusually large, mechanically-activated trimeric ion channels. The
central pore features structural similarities with the pore of other trimeric ion channels …

The standard state enthalpy of formation and the enthalpy of sublimation are essential
thermochemical parameters determining the performance and application prospects of …

This compendium completes a previous report published in 2016 [2016ACR/CHI] on phase
change enthalpies. Paper I of this compendium includes over 6600 organic compounds …

Reversible optical control of protein structure and function offers the possibility of probing
and manipulating individual proteins within the complex environment of a living cell. As a …

Living systems create remarkable complexity from a limited repertoire of biological building
blocks by controlling assembly dynamics at the molecular, cellular, and multicellular level …

The gas-phase O− H bond dissociation enthalpy, BDE, in phenol provides an essential
benchmark for calibrating the O− H BDEs of other phenols, data which aids our …
