TL;DR: The principal mechanism of isomerization in this prototypical retinal-binding protein has direct relevance for all other members of this important family of membrane proteins, and it provides insight into how protein environments catalyze photochemical reactions in general.

TL;DR: This article provides a comprehensive overview of the main features of the MOLCAS/OpenMolcas code, specifically reviewing the use of the code in previously reported chemical applications as well as more recent applications including the calculation of magnetic properties from optimized density matrix renormalization group wave functions.

TL;DR: Site-specific mutagenesis and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics simulations support the idea that the unusual photochemical properties result from the rigidity of the retinal chromophore and a unique counterion triad composed of two glutamic and one aspartic acids.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an investigation on a series of bifunctionl Ru(III)-PC(sp3)P complexes equipped with different outer-sphere auxiliaries, that allowed the authors to identify an amine-functionalized Ir(III) PC(sp 3)P complex 3, as a clean and efficient catalyst for the FA dehydrogenation.

TL;DR: In this article, the roaming mechanism in gas-phase chemical transformations has been shown to occur in solution following ultraviolet excitation of geminal tribromides and isomerization occurring through the roaming of molecular fragments.
