Design, synthesis and DNA-cleaving efficiency of photoswitchable dimeric azobenzene-based C2-symmetric enediynes.
Designed azobenzene-based enediyne-amino acid C(2)-symmetric hybrids have been synthesized and the role of amino acid linker in stabilizing the Z form has been demonstrated; DNA-binding and cleavage studies have established higher reactivity of the Z-isomers.
