研究目的
To develop a method for controlling chain coupling and single chain ligation using two colors of visible light, enabling orthogonal photoligation reactions that can be triggered in any sequence without high-energy UV light.
研究成果
The research successfully demonstrates the first sequence-independent λ-orthogonal photoligation system, allowing intra- and inter-chain reactions to be controlled by visible light in any order, mimicking complex biomacromolecular structures without UV light.
研究不足
The study relies on specific photoreactive groups and wavelengths; applicability may be limited to systems with similar chromophores. Quantitative determination of dimerization degrees is challenging due to absorption overlaps. The method requires precise control of irradiation conditions.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses photochemical reactions, specifically the [2+2] cycloaddition of styrylpyrene and the [4+4] cycloaddition of 9-triazolylanthracene, to achieve orthogonal reactivity. A parent polymer P1 is synthesized with these photoreactive units.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
P1 is synthesized via RAFT polymerization of a methacrylate-based monomer with methyl methacrylate, and a styrylpyrene RAFT agent. PEG polymer with a terminal styrylpyrene is used for ligation.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Tuneable laser setup for irradiation at specific wavelengths (e.g., 330 nm, 410 nm, 455 nm), SEC for molecular weight analysis, UV/vis spectrophotometer, NMR spectrometer, DOSY for hydrodynamic diameter measurement. Materials include THF solvent, polymers P1 and PEG.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Irradiation of P1 at different wavelengths to induce folding or ligation, followed by SEC, UV/vis, and NMR analysis to monitor reactions. Excess PEG is used and recycled.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
SEC traces for molecular weight changes, UV/vis spectra for absorption changes, NMR for structural confirmation, DOSY for hydrodynamic diameter calculation.
