Photoregulation of the DNA Polymerase Reaction by Oligonucleotides Bearing an Azobenzene

Abstract

Two DNA molecules of predetermined lengths are selectively produced from one template DNA. The template-dependent T7 DNA polymerase reaction can be photoregulated with an oligonucleotide bearing an azobenzene as a modulator (see scheme).
