tethered photopharmacology
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Component. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Tethered photopharmacology, where a photoswitchable ligand is covalently attached to a target protein, offers a particularly high degree of spatiotemporal control, as well as the ability to genetically target drug action and limit effects to specific protein subtypes.
