Synergistic effect of the two azobenzenes in the promoter on the photo-regulation of transcription reaction with SP6 RNA polymerase
By introducing two azobenzene moieties into both RNA polymerase binding region and TATA region in the promoter of the SP6 RNA polymerase simultaneously, clear-cut photoregulation of the transcription reaction was achieved either under dark or by UV irradiation.
