The ortho-nitrobenzyl group (ONBzl) was utilized to protect the phenolic functions of the side chain of tyrosine. Optimal conditions for its mild photolyti removal were established. This paper describes the preparation and properties of some (O-ONBzl)-tyrosine derivatives of potential value in the synthesis of tyrosine-containing peptides. Their use in the synthesis of the dipeptide, N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-tyrosyl-glycine ethyl ester is presented as an example.

Photoacid generators (PAGs) and photohydride generators (PHGs) are specific photolabile protecting groups that release acid and hydride, respectively. Over the past decade, great efforts have been devoted to developing novel PAGs and PHGs with advanced efficiency, among which, two of the promising candidates are diarylethene (DAE)-based PAGs and PHGs, which release acids/hydrides during photochromic electrocyclization. The release quantum yield for PAGs is acceptable, while that of PHGs is only 4.

Highly spatiotemporal-resolved photomodulation demonstrates promise for investigating key biological events in vivo and in vitro, such as cell signaling pathways, neuromodulation, and tumor treatment without side effects. However, enhancing the performance of photomodulation tools remains challenging due to the limitations of the physicochemical properties of the photoactive molecules. Here, a compact, stable intramolecular π-π stacking conformation forming between the target molecule (naproxen) and the perylene-based photoremovable protecting group is discovered to confine the motion of the photolabile bond and then enhance the photocleavage quantum yield.

The advancements in targeted drug release and experimental neuroscience have amplified the scientific interest in photolabile protecting groups (PPGs) and photouncaging. The growing need for the detection of uncaging events has led to the development of reporters with fluorescence turn-on upon uncaging. In contrast, fluorescent tags with turn-off properties have been drastically underexplored, although there are applications where they would be sought after.

Protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) is a ubiquitous enzyme that counteracts hundreds of kinases in cells. PP1 interacts with regulatory proteins via an RVxF peptide motif that binds to a hydrophobic groove on the enzyme. PP1-disrupting peptides (PDPs) compete with these regulatory proteins, leading to the release of the active PP1 subunit and promoting substrate dephosphorylation.
