BACKGROUND:
After excitation with light photoacids can change the pH in a solution by release of a proton. They have been used mostly for excited state proton transfer studies. In this review the general functionality and mechanisms and the subdivision of photoacids is explained.
STATE OF THE ART:
Different uses of photoacids are described, covering a wide range of various biochemical topics, focusing on biochemical applications. Examples for the introduced subdivisions are covered.
CONCLUSIONS AND OUTLOOK:
The areas in which photoacids can be employed are diverse. Photoacids have a promising future in biotechnology and biochemistry and should be considered for upcoming applications, especially in non-invasive control of biochemical reactions.
