Controlling Biological Activity with Light: Diarylethene-Containing Cyclic Peptidomimetics

Photobiological processes in nature are usually triggered by nonpeptidic chromophores or by modified side chains. A system is presented in which the polypeptide backbone itself can be conformationally switched by light. An amino acid analogue was designed and synthesized based on a reversibly photoi...
