a Molecular structure of the E- and Z-isomer of photoswitch Azo-SO3H and UV/vis absorption spectra in the initial state and the two photostationary states PSSE→Z after 5 s UV (365 nm) irradiation and PSSZ→E after 10 s blue (465 nm) irradiation (80 µM in DMEM). b Photoswitching cycles (n = 10) for Azo-SO3H using alternating UV (5 s at 356 nm) and blue irradiation (10 s at 465 nm).
