Data Processing for Predicting DNA Damaging Properties of Complex UV Sources.

A growing number of experimental evidence emphasizes that photobiological phenomena are not always the sum of the effect of individual wavelengths present in the emission spectrum of light sources. Unfortunately, tools are missing to identify such non-additive effects and predict effects of various exposure conditions. In the present work, we addressed these points for the formation of pyrimidine dimers in DNA upon co-exposure to UVC, UVB and UVA radiation.
