Potosensitized formation of 8-hydroxyguanine in DNA by riboflavin was observed. A reaction mechanism involving guanine radical cation and hydration reaction was proposed. This hypothesis was confirmed by the incorporation of [18O]-atom within guanine moiety in isotopic experiments using [18O]-H2O. Photosensitized formation of oh8Gua by riboflavin was also observed in cellular DNA.

Nonunion fractures present a significant clinical challenge because of their complex microenvironment, which includes poor vascularization, insufficient osteogenesis, infection, and separation of fracture ends. The current clinical treatments have certain limitations. Inspired by this phenomenon, sandcastle worms secrete adhesive proteins that bind sand grains, shell fragments, and mineral particles, thereby constructing their "castles.

Cytochromes P450 are a superfamily of heme-containing monooxygenases involved in a variety of oxidative metabolic reactions, primarily catalyzing the insertion of an oxygen atom into a C-H bond. CYP102 represents the first example of a bacterial P450 that can be classified as a type II (eukaryotic-like) P450 and functions as a catalytically self-sufficient enzyme. These unique features have made CYP102 an attractive system for studying P450 structure and function.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disease globally and is the main reason for the chronic pain and disability in people over sixty-five worldwide. Degradation of the articular cartilage, synovial inflammation and osteophyte formation are widely acknowledged as the primary pathological manifestations of OA. OA affects more than 300 million people all over the world, bringing extremely large socioeconomic burden.

Unlabelled: The application of photosensitizers for inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation in order to temporally decrease oxygen uptake by tumor cells in the course of photodynamic therapy (PDT) evokes growing interest. is to overcome tumor hypoxia for further photodynamic therapy with simultaneous use of type I photosensitizer methylene blue (MB) and type II photosensitizer chlorin e6.
Material And Methods: A photodynamic activity of MB and its combined use with chlorin e6 has been studied on the HeLa cell culture, their effect on cell metabolism in their co-accumulation and subsequent irradiation has also been assessed.
