Genetically targeted photocatalytic organic dyes for spatiotemporally controlled organic synthesis in specific living cells
Nature Chemistry, Published online: 08 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02195-6 Adapting abiotic catalysis to living cells broadens the scope of in situ non-natural synthesis, but it is challenging to achieve synthetic versatility at cellular-level spatiotemporal organization. Now organic dyes have been shown to perform light- and genetically patternable ph
