Falling apart, on cue: Signaling pathways often display a profound spatiotemporal component that is best studied using light-activatable reagents. Three separate photolabile moieties that can be distinguished based upon their response to three distinct wavelengths (360, 440, and 560 nm) have been synthesized and evaluated. This tri-color system is also applied to imaging in microwells and HeLa cells (see picture).
