Ranked Claims
Optical control elements can be classified by molecular reversibility into non-reversible phototriggers and reversibly photoisomerizing photoswitches.
Synthetic photoswitches alter channel function using three strategies: tethered photoswitchable ligands, untethered freely diffusing photoswitchable ligands, and photoswitchable crosslinkers.
Nanotoggles are tethered photoswitchable ligands that can either activate channels as agonists or inhibit them as blockers or antagonists.
Optical manipulation of channels has provided insights into the mechanism of channel function.
