Light‐controlled sequential photolysis from a single nanoparticle is a challenge for controlled release. A wavelength‐selective sequential photolysis from single gold nanoparticles is reported for the first time. In particular, it is also demonstrated that such nanoparticle can be used to sequentially release two payloads in living cells. In principle, this system can be extended to sequential release of multiple different types of payloads by rational design of diverse photocleavable linkers. It is expected that this work can provide a new tool for better orderly controlling cellular events that request high spatiotemporal manners.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
