Membrane Environment Enables Ultrafast Isomerization of Amphiphilic Azobenzene -INVITED
We report on the isomerization dynamics of an amphiphilic azobenzene that dwells within the plasma membrane. We found that in aggregates formed in water, the isomerization reaction is hindered, while radiative deactivation is favoured. However, once in the membrane, the molecule reacquires its isome...
