In the natural gene-transfer system of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the expression of virulence (vir) gene of Ti (tumor inducing) plasmid is essential for the subsequent transferred deoxyribonucleic acid (T-DNA) transfer from bacterium to plant cells. vir g

(Matrix Presented) Introducing 3-methoxy or 3,5-dimethoxy substituents on the 4-hydroxyphenacyl (pHP) photoremovable protecting group has been explored with two excitatory γ-amino acids, L-glutamic acid and γ-amino butyric acid (GABA). These substituents significantly extend the absorption range of the pHP chromophore, e.g., the tail of absorption bands of 2a,b extend above 400 nm, well beyond the absorptions of aromatic amino acids and nucleotides. Irradiation releases the amino acids with rate constants of ~107 s-1 and appearance efficiencies (Φapp) of 0.03-0.04. The photoproducts are formed through the pHP excited triplet and are primarily products of photoreduction and photohydrolysis. 1a,b also rearranged to the phenylacetic acid 3.
