Dynamic biomaterials based on a photodegradable 2‐nitrobenzyl group are useful not only for spatiotemporally resolving cellular activities, but also for various biomedical applications. Even though there is accumulating evidence of the substituent effect of the benzyl position on the photosensitivity of the 2‐nitrobenzyl compounds at a small‐molecule level, most of the previous dynamic biomaterials employ conventional 2‐nitrobenzyl derivatives with methyl or no substituent. We herein developed a photoresponsive biomaterial bearing a 2‐nitrobenzyl derivative with a bulky substituent at the benzyl position. As a proof‐of‐concept, a dynamic cell culture platform based on thetert‐butyl derivative was prepared, which showed approximately a five‐fold faster rate than that based on the methyl derivatives in terms of protein adsorption and cell adhesion. More importantly, the UV energy needed for the activation of the methyl‐type materials induced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), whereas no ROS production was observed with the energy needed for thetert‐butyl derivative. These results demonstrate the advantages of dynamic biomaterials based on thetert‐butyl‐type nitrobenzyl derivative.
