Caging the uncageable: using metal complex release for photochemical control over irreversible inhibition.

ABSTRACT: Photochemical control over irreversible inhibition was shown using Ru(ii)-caged inhibitors of cathepsin L. Levels of control were dependent on where the Ru(ii) complex was attached to the organic inhibitor, reaching >10 : 1 with optimal placement. A new strategy for photoreleasing Ru(ii) fragments from inhibitor-enzyme conjugates is also reported.
