Light-controlled thrombin catalysis and clot formation using a photoswitchable G-quadruplex DNA aptamer.
    Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 2019, May-09, Volume: 55, Issue:39

    The reversible photocontrol of an enzyme governing blood coagulation is demonstrated. The thrombin binding aptamer (TBA), was rendered photochromic by modification with two anthracene groups. Light-triggered anthracene photodimerisation distorts its structure, inhibiting binding of the enzyme thrombin, which in turn triggers catalysis and the resulting clotting process.
