In vivo, metabolites generated at the triplet state are endowed with the property to initiate typical photochemical reactions in the absence of light leading to loss or gain of cellular functions. This is the case of DNA Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers (CPDs) recently reported to occur in melanocytes hours after UV irradiation. Electronic excitation of the DNA bases was accomplished by ener…
Quenching of triplet acetone by derivatives of sorbic acid, a conjugated diene able to halt melanocyte DNA pyrimidine dimerization in the dark. Triplet carbonyls generated in vivo are endowed with the potentiality to trigger typically photochemical reactions in the dark leading to loss or gain of cellular functions. This isthe case of DNA cyclobutane pyrimidine dimerization reported to oc…
