Mechanical Caging of Nucleic Acids Enabled by Light‐Activated Synthetic Molecular Motors

ABSTRACT Control over nucleic acid activity is central to biotechnology and therapeutic development. Most existing strategies rely on installing protecting groups that mask nucleobases or backbone functionalities (i.e., chemical caging), where modulation of activity arises from a...
