Cleavable by Photolysis

The phosphate ester, prepared either through phosphoramidite or phosphoryl chloride protocols, is cleavable by photolysis (350 nm, benzene, 83-87% yield)." ... 

Many other linkers besides those listed above have been developed for two-phase synthesis of oligosaccharides on insoluble supports, and it can be expected that at least some of them will be tested on soluble supports. It should be kept in mind that MPEG-supported syntheses can be easily scaled up therefore, any relationship between both types of polymer supports will be cooperative rather than mutually exclusive. Such linkers will most probably include dialkyl- or diaryl-silyl linkers,10,41 3 and linkers cleavable by photolysis such as the o-nitrobenzyl group and its modifications.44 16...

The reagents in current use for protein crosslinking have one chemically reactive and one photochemically reactive arm, often connected by a cleavable bridge for subsequent two-dimensional electrophoretic analyses. Chemical attachment is carried out first, and the crosslink is completed by photolysis. Many of these so-called heterobifunctional molecules are listed in Table 5.1 and some of them, conforming to the criteria outlined below,... 

The encoding tags are halophenoxy derivatives of aliphatic alcohols and are attached to either a photolabile linker as a carbonate or an oxidatively cleavable linker as an ether. The photolabile linker/tag complex is especially well suited to encode peptide libraries through attachment to approximately 1% of the amino groups of each amino acid synthon at eachstage of the synthesis. For structure determination, the tags are released by photolysis at 360 nM. 

Control experiments showed that all the crosslinks were cleavable. No crosslinks were formed if the reagent was omitted, if photolysis was omitted, or if the reagent was first inactivated by treatment with ammonium acetate. These experiments proved that neither monofunctional cross-linking, nor disulfide interchange to give crosslinking in the dark occurred. If the membranes were solubilized in SDS before irradiation no cross-...
