Long-wave (320-400 nm) UV-induced oxygen superoxide anion radical (O2-) formation was found in yeast cells. This radical plays an important part in initiation of photodestruction reactions in DNA which serves as a main target of UV irradiation in yeast. The observed cell photoinactivation spectrum at the wavelengths 320-400 nm suggests that NADH can serve as an endogenous sensitizer of O2- formation.
在酵母细胞中发现了长波(320 - 400纳米)紫外线诱导的超氧阴离子自由基(O₂⁻)的形成。该自由基在DNA光破坏反应的起始过程中起重要作用,而DNA是酵母中紫外线照射的主要靶点。在320 - 400纳米波长处观察到的细胞光失活光谱表明,NADH可作为O₂⁻形成的内源性敏化剂。
