Near ultraviolet (NUV) light can cause a variety of damage to biological systems. The effects of NUV are significantly enhanced in the presence of sensitizers. One of the most important targets of such synergistic effects is DNA. Cellular DNA exposed to NUV plus sensitizers is damaged in a variety o
