We report the light-activation of allosteric cis and trans acting ribozymes via decaging of a small organic molecule ligand. To achieve this effectively, we introduce an optimized N-caging group based on a nitrobenzyl core structure. This approach can potentially be employed toward a light-induced control of gene function.
