Summary Reversibly photoswitchable fluorescent proteins have already found applications in many biology‐related areas such as superresolution cellular imaging, interaction, and movement tracking of proteins. However, they are of great potential in information storage systems, and logic computing circuits of the future, as well. In this work, we present a simple circuit model capable of simulating the photoswitching behavior of such proteins. The circuit consists of basic electronic elements, and it can be easily extended to simulate complex photoswitching behavior, as well.
