TL;DR: In this paper, a photoactivatable self-localizing ligand (paSL) is used to recruit tag-fused proteins of interest from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane within seconds upon light illumination.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a new caging group was designed that can be photoactivated only in the presence of a non-endogenous enzyme when exposed to 405 nm light, which can serve as a strategy for adding targeting abilities to photocaged compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design, Synthesis, and Photochemical Properties of Clickable Caged Compounds
TL;DR: A method is reported for the synthesis of clickable caged compounds that can be modified easily with various functional units via the copper(I)-catalyzed Huisgen cyclization, which exhibits a high photolysis efficiency compared to those of the conventional 2-nitrobenzyls.
