During the last twenty years,
we have been responsible for the introduction and development
of caged compounds for biophysical and physiological
studies. These are novel photolabile compounds which
on u-v illumination release the caged substrate (ATP,
ADP, Pi, Ca2+, Mg2+, etc.) in the msec-microsec time
range and thus synchronously and rapidly initiate biological
processes. We plan to continue to develop this strategy
to provide novel photorelease techniques for cellular
and molecular studies.
