Molecular Design of Amphiphilic Plasma Membrane-Targeted Azobenzenes for Nongenetic Optical Stimulation
We present a series of cationic membrane-targeted azobenzene molecules, with the aim to understand how variations in molecular architecture influence the relative optical and biological properties. 1,4-Amino-substituted azobenzene was chosen as the switching unit while the number of linked alkyl cha...
