✦ Synopsis
The attachment of photolabile "protecting" groups to mask the activity of biologically active compounds is commonly referred to as "caging". [1] The active molecule can be released by irradiation with the laser of a confocal microscope. The method provides exact control over the location, dose and time at which this event occurs. The strengths of this approach lie, for example, in the arbitrary choice of location where a pro-[a] Dr.

## Abstract Human telomeric DNA consists of tandem repeats of the sequence 5′‐d(TTAGGG)‐3′. Guanine‐rich DNA, such as that seen at telomeres, forms G‐quadruplex secondary structures. Alternative forms of G‐quadruplex structures can have differential effects on activities involved in telomere mainte
