In search of visible-light photoresponsive peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) for reversible control of DNA hybridization

Photoswitchable oligonucleotides can determine specific biological outcomes by light-induced conformational changes. In particular, artificial probes activated by visible-light irradiation are highly desired in biological applications. Here, we report two novel types of visible-light photoswitchable...
