Red, far-red, and near infrared photoswitches based on azonium ions
TL;DR: Azonium ions formed by p-amino substituted azo compounds with both ortho- and meta-methoxy substituents exhibit strong absorbance in far-red and near infrared spectral region.

Long wavelength optical control of glutamate receptor ion channels using a tetra-ortho-substituted azobenzene derivative
TL;DR: A tetra-ortho-chloro substituted azobenzene unit was incorporated into a photoswitchable tethered ligand for ionotropic glutamate receptors confers the modified protein with the unusual optical responses of the substituted azo scaffold permitting channel opening with yellow and red light and channel closing with blue light.

Modular design of optically controlled protein affinity reagents.
TL;DR: A generalizable, modular approach for obtaining light controllable bioactive agents by modifying the scaffold of a protein affinity reagent using an azobenzene photoswitch is proposed.
