Disease relevance of diphenyldiazene

 

Psychiatry related information on diphenyldiazene

  • We report detailed measurements of the photoinduced effects on the electric polarization, tilt angle, response time, and rotational viscosity in the vicinity of the smectic-A-antiferroelectric-smectic-C (Sm-C*(A)) transition of a guest-host system consisting of photoactive azobenzene-based guest molecules and nonphotoactive host molecules [3].
 

High impact information on diphenyldiazene

  • It is a photochromic azobenzene compound containing two iminodiacetic acid groups and can exists as cis and trans stereoisomers [4].
  • Azobenzene was additionally introduced into side chain of T7 promoter for the photocontrol of transcription reaction by T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) [5].
  • A photochromic azobenzene linker was incorporated as a turn element into an amino acid sequence known to fold into a beta-hairpin structure in aqueous solution [6].
  • Flexible benzyl aryl ether dendrimers 1a-e were obtained in good yields by direct alkylation of diphenolic azobenzene 3 with benzyl aryl ether dendrons [G-n]-Br (n = 0-4) [7].
  • Measurements of anisotropy of femtosecond fluorescence after direct excitation of the S1(n,pi*) state of azobenzene in hexane and ethylene glycol solutions have been carried out to address the controversy about inversion and rotation in the mechanism of photoisomerization [8].

Associations of diphenyldiazene with other chemical compounds

  • For both diastereomers, their NMR-determined duplex structure showed that trans-azobenzene intercalates between base pairs, because distinct NOEs were observed between the protons of azobenzene and those of the adjacent base pairs, such as with the imino protons and methyl protons of thymine [18].
  • (1)H NMR, HPLC, and UV-visible absorption analyses indicated that the azobenzene unit in 3 is rapidly and reversibly trans-cis isomerized by photoirradiation in chloroform and ethanol [19].
  • Colorimetric azobenzene based chemosensors 1 and 2 were designed for detection of transition-metal ions such as Cu(II) under physiological pH conditions [20].
  • Reversible trans-cis photoisomerization of azobenzene-attached bipyridine ligands coordinated to cobalt using a single UV light source and the Co(III)/Co(II) redox change [21].
  • An undecapeptide incorporating mpAbc was synthesized by conventional solid-phase methods and displayed characteristic azobenzene photochemical behavior with optimal conversion to the cis isomer at 360 nm and a thermal cis --> trans half-life of 100 min at 80 degrees C [22].
 

Gene context of diphenyldiazene

  • Conformational properties of the trans and cis isomers of this peptide in solution were investigated by CD and NMR and were found to differ markedly from the thioredoxin derived azobenzene peptides [23].
  • The photoresponsive interaction of light-sensitive azobenzene surfactants with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at neutral pH has been investigated as a means to control protein folding with light irradiation [24].
  • Combining an azobenzene chromophore with the bis-cysteinyl active-site sequence of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) we constructed a simple but promising model for allosteric conformational rearrangements [25].
  • Liposomes containing acyl chains incorporating azobenzene chromophores have been investigated as potential 'caging' agents for fast solute release [26].
  • Photoregulation of the transcription reaction of T7 RNA polymerase by tethering an azobenzene to the promoter [27].
