Abstract
The knock-on effect of a single catalytic reaction by a specific enzyme on a prodrug platform initiates the sequential collapse of the whole array to release the active drug units (see scheme). Such a dendritic system may provide a means to improve selective chemotherapeutic approaches in cancer therapy.
