Abstract

AbstractThis invited Team Profile was created by the Langton group in the Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford (UK). They recently published an article on a synthetic supramolecular signaling system, in which light is used to initiate the release of diffusible chemical signals from one population of vesicles to another. This triggers transmembrane cation transport in the receiver vesicles and amplifies the signal, in a manner reminiscent of signaling mechanisms in biology. “Inter‐Vesicle Signal Transduction Using a Photo‐responsive Zinc Ionophore”, S. A. Gartland, T. G. Johnson, E. Walkley, M. J. Langton Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2023, 62, e202309080.
