Abstract

A proof-of-principle for the application of hemi-indigo derivatives as RNA binders with photocontrollable fluorescence is presented. The photoswitch binds to the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA with a significant light-up effect. The fluorescence of the RNA-bound ligand can be reversibly switched ON and OFF by light without destroying the ligand-RNA associates.
