title: In vitro photoreactions of selected psoralens and methylangelicins with DNA, RNA, and proteins.
abstract: This paper presents an overview of the photophysical and photochemical properties of some furocoumarin derivatives and their interactions and photoreactions with DNA, RNA, and proteins, as well as their ability to produce singlet oxygen. The relevance of these properties in the induction of photobiologic effects is also discussed.
