New in Chemical Science! "Aryl azopyrroles as visible light photoswitchable TRPA1 ligands" by Pui-Ying Lam (Medical College of Wisconsin) and Matthew Fuchter (Imperial College London, Oxford University) et al. @fuchtermatt.bsky.social Read it here: doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

Promotional image for the paper titled Aryl azopyrroles as visible light photoswitchable TRPA1 ligands. The image shows the interconversion of the E-isomer and Z-isomer of the new molecule TRPswitch C with 405 nm light and 525 nm light, respectively. The text reads: novel photoswitch class, visible-light switching, and in vivo PMR testing.
