  Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) can exert diverse signaling and stress responses within living systems depending on its spatial and temporal dynamics. Here we report a new small-molecule probe forHydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) can exert diverse signaling and stress responses within living systems depending on its spatial and temporal dynamics. Here we report a new small-molecule probe for producing H(2)O(2) on demand upon photoactivation and its application for optical regulation of cofilin-actin rod formation in living cells. This chemical method offers many potential opportunities for dissecting biological roles for H(2)O(2) as well as remote control of cell behavior via H(2)O(2)-mediated pathways.
