摘要

Reversible photocontrol of biomolecules requires chromophores that can efficiently undergo large conformational changes upon exposure to wavelengths of light that are compatible with living systems. We designed a benzylidene–pyrroline chromophore that mimics the Schiff base of rhodopsin and can be used to introduce light-switchable intramolecular cross- links in peptides and proteins. This new class of photoswitch undergoes an∼ 10 Å ...
