Singlet oxygen (1O2) is a biologically relevant reactive oxygen species capable of efficiently
reacting with cellular constituents. The resulting oxidatively generated damage to nucleic …

UV-induced DNA damage plays a key role in the initiation phase of skin cancer. When left
unrepaired or when damaged cells are not eliminated by apoptosis, DNA lesions express …

Photosensitization reactions have been demonstrated to be largely responsible for the
deleterious biological effects of UV and visible radiation, as well as for the curative actions of …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are harnessed by the cell for signaling at the same time as
being detrimental to cellular components such as DNA. The genome and transcriptome …

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 …

The transmission of viral infections via aerosol has become a serious threat to public health.
This has produced an ever-increasing demand for effective forms of viral inactivation …

We present a new, nonarbitrary, internally consistent, and unambiguous framework for spin-
polarized conceptual density-functional theory (SP-DFT). We explicitly characterize the …

This review article is aimed at providing updated information on the contribution of
immediate and delayed oxidative reactions to the photo‐induced damage to cellular …

The reactivity of singlet oxygen with DNA constituents and in particular with the guanine
base has been studied during more than four decades but the exact mechanisms by which …

Light‐dependent singlet oxygen (1O2) produced in photodynamic therapy (PDT), is a
biologically compatible reactive oxygen species showing the potential to kill tumor cells with …
