Abstract
Suspensions of desoxyribonucleic acid become less viscous when they are irradiated in the presence of photodynamically active compounds, such as eosin, methylene blue, 1,2-benzanthracene, or 20-methyl-cholanthrene. This apparent depolymerization may be involved in the lethal and possible mutagenic effects of photodynamic action.Keywords
