Abstract
An arylazopyrazole-based covalent inhibitor targeting the mitotic motor protein of centromere-associated protein E (CENP-E) was developed. Using this photoswitchable inhibitor, a photoswitchable CENP-E was chemically constructed in cells, which enabled to local control of mitotic cell division with light illumination.
