Abstract

We describe a light-controlled template-directed reversible DNA photoligation via carbazole-tethered 5-carboxyvinyluracil. Carbazole-tethered 5-carboxyvinyl-2'-deoxyuridine-containing oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) can be ligated by irradiation at 366 nm in the presence of template ODN, and the ligated ODN can be split by irradiation at 366 nm in the absence of template ODN.
