PHOTODYNAMIC EFFECTS IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4133277
Photodynamic action is defined as the killing or chemical alteration of an organism, cell, or virus, or the chemical alteration of a molecule by light in the range of 300 to 800 mu in the presence of a photosensitizing dye and molecular oxygen. Results are reviewed from a number of recent studies of photodynamic effects in biological systems. Mechanisms of photodynamic action are discussed. Data are included from a comparison of the photodynamic and gamma inactivation of trypsin. 126 references. (C.H.)
