But the new molecular switches are a promising first step.

What an ingenious ideaa molecular switch that was based on light.

Such a "molecular shuttle" could become the basis for a molecular switch.

"Molecular switches," Kim said quietly, feeling a pulse of excitement pass through him.

In certain molecular switches the two stations are non-degenerate.

Thus, photochromic units have been demonstrated as components of molecular switches.

Diagrams for incredibly powerful molecular switches are scrawled on the walls.

A molecular switch is a molecule that can be reversibly shifted between two or more stable states.

In the case where one recognition site is a switchable moiety, a mechanical molecular switch results.

Dr. Tour said he believed that molecular switches would soon be used as digital memory within watches or other small devices.

According to the developer, antineoplastons are part of a biochemical surveillance system in the body and work as "molecular switches."

And the molecular switches have so far not exhibited switching speeds faster than today's fastest silicon chips.

A major challenge is to figure out how to address the individual molecular switches, Mr. Ellenbogen said.

July 27, 2006 - A molecular switch turns off chronic pain, Columbia University researchers report.

This change acts as a molecular switch to activate a signal transduction mechanism within the cell.

Both processes are often applied in molecular switches and for photochromism (reversible state changes from exposure to light).

The molecular switches have the potential to treat such diseases as HIV and cancer.

He and his collaborators throw molecular switches together onto a small wafer with small gold particles.

A crucial component of the chip is its molecular switch, designed by Dr. Stoddart.

G proteins function as molecular switches.

Additionally, GTPases are often described as a molecular switch.

This acts as a molecular switch controlling translation of repZ and repY.

He has demonstrated that these topologies can be employed as molecular switches and as motor-molecules.

They act as molecular switches usually tethered to membranes by isoprenyl groups linked to their carboxyl ends.

Ras proteins function as binary molecular switches that control intracellular signaling networks.
