Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The first photo-regulation of non-enzymatic RNA hydrolysis has been achieved. A positively-charged and bulky regulator has been linked to a catalytically active Zn(II) complex, via a photo-responsive linker involving an azobenzene. The rate of RNA hydrolysis has been reversibly modulated by photo-irradiation.</jats:p>
