The light-sensitive dimerizer zapalog reveals distinct modes of immobilization for axonal mitochondria.

Controlling cellular processes with light can help elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Here we present ZAPALOG, a small-molecule dimerizer that undergoes photolysis when exposed to blue light. Zapalog dimerizes any two proteins tagged with the FKBP and DHFR domains until exposure to light causes...
