Summary: | The present invention provides a macromolecular switch ( 51 ) suitable for use in a data acquisition and/or processing device. The switch comprises a macromolecular structure ( 10 ) having an ion binding site ( 14 ), and is flippable between a plurality of discretely different conformations corresponding to different ion binding conditions at the ion binding site ( 14 ). The macromolecular structure ( 10 ) is provided with at least one electrochemical input device ( 43 ) for applying such different ion binding conditions to the ion binding site ( 14 ) in response to corresponding external input signals. The invention also provides a method for data acquisition and/or processing, using a macromolecular structure switch of the invention. |
