Triplet-Energy Quenching Functions of Antioxidant Molecules

Triplet-Energy Quenching Functions of Antioxidant Molecules

UV-like DNA damage is created in the dark by chemiexcitation, in which UV-activated enzymes generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that create a dioxetane on melanin. Thermal cleavage creates an electronically excited triplet-state carbonyl whose high energy transfers to DNA. Screening natura...
