Graphical Abstract

Licht macht Gene munter: Die photochemische Steuerung der Genexpression dient zur Aufklärung biologischer Prozesse und zur Programmierung neuer biologischer Funktionen. Ein photoaktivierbares Molekül aktiviert die Proteinexpression in prokaryotischen Zellen bei Lichteinstrahlung (siehe Bild). Im speziellen Fall gelang die räumlich-zeitliche Regulierung des lac-Operons mit einem photoaktivierbaren Derivat von Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranosid.
