After calf thymus DNA has been photodamaged by Yangzhou haematoporphyrin derivative (YHPD) or Photofrin II, the Raman characteristic frequencies and the intensities of the bands assigned to various groups of the components of DNA change considerably. As a result of damage, homogeneous B-form calf th

โฆ Synopsis
This study characterizes the special properties of hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD) (Photofrin I) and Photofrin I1 with respect to the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the subfractions of the compounds in both solution and cells. In addition, data are presented demonstrating variation in the spectral amplitudes with respect to the age (shelf-life) of the commercially available compounds. Data are also presented confirming that fraction I11 is the active ingredient-containing fraction with respect to photosensitivity. The morphologic and electron microscopic analyses demonstrate that the first visible effect on cells following porphyrin sensitization can be detected within 1 minute of low level light exposure (10 J/cm2, 630 nm). The initial sites of morphologic damage are the mitochondria.
