Optochemical control of transcription by the use of 7-deaza-adenosine-based diarylethenes.

Out of nine different 7-deaza-adenosine diarylethenes, we identified a high-performance photoswitch, suitable for the synthesis of photochromic DNA. By using solid phase synthesis, a photoresponsive T7 promotor was generated which allowed reversibly modulating the rate of enzymatic RNA synthesis in vitro.
