Protein activity can thus be abrogated through PEGylation, and a controllable means to remove the polyethylene glycol (PEG) group from the protein is desirable. As such, light affords a unique control over biomolecules through the application of photosensitive groups. Herein, we report the synthesis of a photocleavable PEG reagent (PhotoPEG) and its application to the light-regulation of enzyme activity.}, number={8}, journal={BIOCONJUGATE CHEMISTRY}, author={Georgianna, Wesleigh E. and Lusic, Hrvoje and Mclver, Andrew L. and Deiters, Alexander}, year={2010}, month={Aug}, pages={1404–1407} } @article{georgianna_deiters_2010, title={Reversible light switching of cell signalling by genetically encoded protein dimerization}, volume={11}, DOI={10.1002/cbic.200900754}, abstractNote={Let there be light! Light control provides precise spatial and temporal regulation of cellular events. A genetically encoded system based on the photoswitchable Arabidopsis thaliana PhyB–PIF interaction has been applied to the reversible photocontrol of protein translocation and cellular morphology in mammalian cells.}, number={3}, journal={Chembiochem}, author={Georgianna, W.
