The use of non-toxic dyes or photosensitizers (PS) in combination with harmless visible light
that is known as photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been known for over a hundred years, but …

In this survey, emphasis was placed on the main photoreactions of nucleic acid components,
involving both direct and indirect effects. The main UVB-and UVA-induced DNA …

The importance of radical-induced damage to DNA is apparent from the ever-increasing
number of publications in this area. This review focuses on the damage caused to DNA by …

Although the carcinogenic potential of ultraviolet radiation is well-known, UV light may
interact with DNA by direct absorption or through photosensitization by endogenous or …

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) appears to be a critical cellular target for the biological effects
(cellular lethality, mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and ageing) of oxidation processes …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), the use of light to excite photosensitive molecules whose
electronic relaxation drives the production of highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

The genotoxicity and the mutagenicity of 102, as the result of DNA oxidation, have been
determined (for recent reviews see refs 1—3). A major source of 1Ü2 is photo-sensitization …

Guanine bases in DNA are the most sensitive to oxidation. A lot of effort has been devoted to
the understanding of the chemical modifications of guanine under different oxidizing …

Both UV and ionizing radiations damage DNA. Two main mechanisms, so-called direct and
indirect pathways, are involved in the degradation of DNA induced by ionizing radiations …

Formation of DNA− protein cross-links involving the initial formation of a guanine radical
cation was investigated. For this purpose, riboflavin-mediated photosensitization of a TGT …
