Abstract

To investigate the biochemistry of life, it is essential to have suitable chemical tools that are able to provide spatiotemporal information because the interactions of biomolecules in living systems are under precise temporal and spatial control. Masking the key functional groups of biomolecules with photolabile protecting groups may afford caged compounds, which are essentially biologically inert.[1] However, upon photolysis, the photolabile groups are ...
