Photochromic Torsional Switch (PTS): a Light-Driven Actuator for the Dynamic Tuning of π-Conjugation Extension

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Pascal Miéville, Riccardo Petraglia, Emilie Baudat, Giuseppe Sforazzini, Adrien Georges Nicolai, Adam Antoni Sobczuk, Luca Cervini

Here we present a molecular architecture that can reversibly change the geometric conformation of its π-system backbone via irradiation with two different wavelengths. The proposed ‘molecular actuator’ consists of a photoswitchable azobenzene orthogonally ...

Membrane invagination induced by Shiga toxin B-subunit: from molecular structure to tube formation

Julian Charles Shillcock

The bacterial Shiga toxin is composed of an enzymatically active A-subunit, and a receptor-binding homopentameric B-subunit (STxB) that mediates intracellular toxin trafficking. Upon STxB-mediated binding to the glycolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) at th ...

Light absorption in 1D and 2D nanostructured organic semiconductors

Damien Rolland

Organic photovoltaics will be one of the corner stones in solving the increasing world's energy demand issue. For this reason, a better understanding of the detailed mechanisms involved in energy conversion in the employed nanostructured materials is still ...

The Caenorhabditis elegans protein SAS-5 forms large oligomeric assemblies critical for centriole formation

Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Nicola Jane Dynes, Sheng Kai Pong

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles crucial for cell division, sensing and motility. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the onset of centriole formation requires notably the proteins SAS-5 and SAS-6, which have functional equivalents across eukaryotic evol ...

The centriolar protein CPAP G-box: an amyloid fibril in a single domain

Georgios Hatzopoulos

Centrioles are evolutionarily conserved cylindrical cell organelleswith characteristic radial symmetry. Despite their considerable size (400 nm x 200 nm, in humans), genetic studies suggest that relatively few protein components are involved in their assem ...

Evaluation of the in vitro anticancer activity of cyclometalated half-sandwich rhodium and iridium complexes coordinated to naphthaldimine-based poly(propyleneimine) dendritic scaffolds

Paul Joseph Dyson, Catherine Marie Amélie Clavel, Fabio Edafe

The development of cyclometalated rhodium and iridium complexes from first-and second-generation naphthaldimine-based poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer scaffolds of the type, DAB-(NH2)(n) (where n = 4 or 8, DAB = diaminobutane) has been accomplished. Four met ...

Two-Fold Odd-Even Effect in Self-Assembled Nanowires from Oligopeptide-Polymer-Substituted Perylene Bisimides

Holger Frauenrath, Robin Nigon, Roman Niklaus Marty, Deborah Leite

Organic nanowires are important building blocks for nanoscopic organic electronic devices. In order to ensure efficient charge transport through such nanowires, it is important to understand in detail the molecular parameters that guide self-assembly of pi ...

Position-Dependent Extension of π-Conjugation in D-π-A Dye Sensitizers and the Impact on the Charge-Transfer Properties

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Jinhyun Kim, Thomas Wesley Holcombe, Mateusz Barnaba Wielopolski, Yuxiang Yu

A series of five organic donor-π-bridge-acceptor (D-π-A) sensitizers is investigated within the context of their photoinduced charge-transfer properties. Thereby, the focus is set on the impact of structural modifications of the molecular architecture on t ...

Interfacial Self-Assembly as Catalytic Platform for Multielectron Redox Reactions

Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano

In Nature, many vital biological processes take place across the interface formed between two dielectric media. For instance, photosynthesis and aerobic respiration involve a series of redox reactions occurring across energy-transducing membranes, in charg ...

Quantum transport through single atoms and molecules

Klaus Kern, Yi Zhang, Peter Wahl

Experiments on quantum transport in a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope provide the possibility to study atomic and molecular contacts with well-defined electrode-geometry at least for one of the contacts, the surface. Here, we show for a numbe ...
