Photoresponsive Molecular Switch for Regulating Transmembrane Proton-Transfer Kinetics
摘要:
To control proton delivery across biological membranes, we synthesized a photoresponsive molecular switch and incorporated it in a lipid layer. This proton gate was reversibly activated with 390 nm light (Z-isomer) and then deactivated by 360 nm irradiation (E-isomer). In a lipid layer this stimuli responsive proton gate allowed the regulation of proton flux with irradiation to a lipid-buried O-2 reduction electrocatalyst. Thus, the catalyst was turned on and off with the E-to-Z interconversion. This light-induced membrane proton delivery system may be useful in developing any functional device that performs proton-coupled electron-transfer reactions.

A practical and straightforward chemoenzymaticsynthesis of novel acetoxy- and hydroxy-1H-inden-1-ones starting from commercial indan-1-ones is described. By using different lipases, the final step of the preparation can be performed with high conversion working under mild reaction conditions. The desired compounds, which present a great interest since they can be employed as target substrates in enzymatic
