This roadmap reviews the new, highly interdisciplinary research field studying the behavior
of condensed matter systems exposed to radiation. The Review highlights several recent …

The developments of the open-source OpenMolcas chemistry software environment since
spring 2020 are described, with a focus on novel functionalities accessible in the stable …

The first member and eponym of the rhodopsin family was identified in the 1930s as the
visual pigment of the rod photoreceptor cell in the animal retina. It was found to be a …

The understanding of how the rhodopsin sequence can be modified to exactly modulate the
spectroscopic properties of its retinal chromophore, is a prerequisite for the rational design …

Flavins have emerged as central to electron bifurcation, signaling, and countless enzymatic
reactions. In bifurcation, two electrons acquired as a pair are separated in coupled transfers …

Light-driven molecular motors have generated considerable interest due to their potential
applications in material and biological systems. Recently, Greb and Lehn reported a new …

We demonstrate here through molecular simulations and mutational studies the origin of the
enantioselectivity in the photoinduced radical cyclization of α-chloroacetamides catalyzed by …

The photoisomerization of retinal is a unifying primary event in the rhodopsin protein family.
In vertebrate rhodopsins it is the first step in the vision process, while in the microbial …

We present a computational protocol for the fast and automated screening of excited-state
hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) models of rhodopsins to be used …

The Earth's magnetic field can provide reliable directional information, allowing migrating
animals to orient themselves using a magnetic compass or estimate their position relative to …
