Recent aspects of the photochemistry of nucleic acids and related model compounds.
This survey focuses on recent developments in the far ultraviolet photochemistry of nucleic acids and related model compounds. The photoproducts discussed are the cyclobutidipyrimidines, the pyrimidine-pyrimidone adducts, the purine-pyrimidine adducts and the addition products of amino acids to pyrimidine bases. The specific aspects of the high-intensity laser photochemistry of nucleic acid components are also briefly reviewed.
