Flicking the switch on a molecular gate.
T he use of external stimuli to manipulate the properties of well-defined materials may find applications in ondemand drug delivery, separation of molecules, sensing, smart coatings, or artificial tissues (1). Most of these applications rely on changes in the shape, stiffness, pore size, or other properties of soft materials in response to external pressure, temperature changes, or electric or ...
متن کاملFlicking the chromosome–attachment switch
ain Cheeseman, Georjana Barnes (University of California, Berkeley, CA), and colleagues have peered into a 28-protein mix and found the individual residues responsible for attaching and detaching chromosomes and microtubules. The phosphorylation of these residues by Ipl1p (an Aurora kinase) apparently allows budding yeast cells to convert monopolar chromosome spindle attachments to bipolar atta...
متن کاملFlicking the molecular switch underlying MLKL-mediated necroptosis
The pseudokinase domain of the necroptosis effector mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) functions as a latch to restrain the unleashing of its N-terminal 4-helix bundle (4HB) domain. Cell death mediated by the 4HB domain relies on membrane association and oligomerization, which can be inhibited by an ATP-mimetic small molecule that binds the pseudokinase domain of MLKL.
متن کاملPhase coherent electronics: a molecular switch based on quantum interference.
The phenomenon of quantum mechanical interference may be used to control the conductivity of ballistic molecular wires. Using a simple model we demonstrate plausible effects and discuss its potential uses for constructing coherence-based molecular electronics.
متن کاملPhotoisomerization action spectroscopy: flicking the protonated merocyanine-spiropyran switch in the gas phase.
Laser spectroscopy and ion mobility spectrometry are combined to provide structural and photochemical information on photoisomerizing molecules in the gas phase. The strategy exploits the fact that an ion packet propelled through buffer gas by an electric field separates spatially and temporally into its constituent isomers because of small differences in their collision cross sections. Isomers...
