16536551 Muramatsu S, Kinbara K, Taguchi H, Ishii N, Aida T: Semibiological molecular machine with an implemented "AND" logic gate for regulation of protein folding. J Am Chem Soc. 2006 Mar 22;128(11):3764-9.

The molecular design made use of a genetically engineered chaperonin GroEL bearing, at both entrance parts of its cylindrical cavity, cysteine residues, which were functionalized by an azobenzene derivative to construct photoresponsive mechanical gates (azo-GroEL).
