Synthesis of photoswitchable amino acids based on azobenzene chromophores: building blocks with potential for photoresponsive biomaterials

Three novel derivatives of azobenzene substituted amino acids have been synthesized. The compounds may serve as photoswitchable building blocks in the synthesis of bicyclic peptides or peptide strands interconnected with a photoisomerizable group.
