A model to understand type I oxidations of biomolecules photosensitized by pterins

Photosensitized oxidations, in part responsible for the harmful effect of UV and visible radiation on biological systems, can take place through type I (generation of radicals) and type II (singlet oxygen) mechanisms. Pterins are heterocyclic compounds, widespread in living systems and involved in r...
