Abstract

Singlet oxygen quantum yields from the triplet excited states of DNA, nucleotides, dinucleosides, purine and pyrimidine bases in solution have been determined—for guanine-containing moieties no singlet oxyge was detected, and possible implications pertaining to DNA photodamage are discussed.
