ABSTRACT

A facile and useful method for preparing caged DNAs was developed. The method includes a caging reaction of a linear dsDNA having a minimal sequence of protein expression with Bio-Bhc-diazo and affinity separation of the caged DNA. Effective suppression and photo-mediated restoration of protein expression were demonstrated.
