title: Fungicide chinomethionate as a new family of photoinducible DNA-cleaving agents.
abstract: It is demonstrated for the first time in this report that chinomethionate is capable of causing efficient DNA cleavage under mild irradiation conditions, a fungicide molecule that processes the simple group of 1,3-dithio-2-one as its reactive functionality.
