DNA–ligand interactions gained and lost: light-induced ligand redistribution in a supramolecular cascade

Abstract

A supramolecular five-component cascade is presented that enables light-controlled transport of an in situ modified ligand between three host systems based on the different complexation preferences of cyclodextrin, cucurbituril, and double-stranded DNA. The results point out novel approaches for the control of drug–DNA interactions in DNA-targeting therapy.
