Background Prior drought stress may change plants response patterns and subsequently increase their tolerance to the same condition, which can be referred to as “drought memory” and proved essential for plants well-being. However, the mechanism of transcriptional drought memory in psammophytes remains unclear. Agriophyllum squarrosum , a pioneer sp...

The frequent emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants increased viral transmissibility and reduced protection afforded by vaccines. The rapid, multichannel, and intelligent screening of variants is critical to minimizing community transmissions. DNA molecular logic gates have attracted wide attention in recent years due to the powerful information processi...

Diarylethene molecules used as molecular switches are envisioned as components of molecular electronic devices. These photochromic molecules exhibit high thermal stability, resistance to fatigue, and switching efficiency. Nevertheless, the switching of most diarylethenes (DAEs) is asymmetric: their photocycloreversion reaction possessing a much low...

Photochromic compounds of the spiropyran family have two main isomers capable of inter-switching with UV or visible light. In the current review, we discuss recent advances in the synthesis, investigation of properties, and applications of spiropyran derivatives. Spiropyrans of the indoline series are in focus as the most promising representatives ...

As VLSI technology is shifting from microelectronics to nanoelectronics era, bi-stable [2]rotaxane emerges as a promising candidate for molecular electronics. A typical voltage-driven [2]rotaxane consists of a cyclobis-(paraquat-p-phenylene) macrocycle encircling a dumbbell shape molecular chain and moving between two stations on the chain: tetrath...

Moonlighting proteins perform multiple unrelated functions without any change in polypeptide sequence. They can coordinate cellular activities, serving as switches between pathways and helping to respond to changes in the cellular environment. Therefore, regulation of the multiple protein activities, in space and time, is likely to be important for...

Molecular switches are valuable tools for the detection of many chemical and biological processes. On the other hand, Schiff bases are known for their simplicity in synthesis and their enormous biochemical applications. In this scenario, when a strategically designed Schiff base acts as a molecular switch in biomimetic environments drags inevitable...

Spectral (optical absorption and emission) properties of three amphoteric phosphorous(V)-phthalocyanine derivatives, [P(Pc)(O)OH], where Pc=tetra(tert-butyl)phthalocyaninate (tbpc), tetrakis(2',6'-dimethylphenoxy)phthalocyaninate (tppc), and octakis(4'-tert-butylphenoxy)phthalocyaninate (obppc), have been investigated in ethanolic solutions. Spectr...

Electronic interactions between π-conjugated poly[2-methoxy-5-(3′,7′-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MDMO-PPV) and photochromic 6-nitro-1′,3′,3′-trimethylspiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2′-indoline] (SP) were studied using the optical spectroscopy. The observed fluorescence quenching of MDMO-PPV by the open merocyanine form of the SP was explaine...

In this account, we present our contribution towards the building of molecular devices with the use of ruthenium organometallic complexes of the type Ru(dppe)(2)(-C C-Aryl)(2) (dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane). In the first part, we report that these systems are appropriate for the building of switch able functional surfaces. They allow (i...
