Recent Development of DNA‐based Biohybrid Systems Driven by Light

Abstract Photochemistry has provided a powerful alternative to generate reactive intermediates under mild reaction conditions and photobiocatalysis is currently widely applied in organic synthesis. While enzyme‐based photocatalysis has attracted a lot of attention, light‐driven DNA‐based biohybrid systems are also increasingly being applied to a large variety of applications from molecular imaging to enantioselective catalysis, and other fields such as DNA‐encoded libraries (DELs). This review gives insights into these research fields by classifying the existing light‐driven DNA‐based biohybrid systems developed to date.
