A new mammalian photoreceptor was recently discovered to reside in the ganglion cell layer of the inner retina.These intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells(ipRGCs) express a photopigment,melanopsin,that c...
Laser Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the photodamage characteristics of human erythrocyte membranes sensitized by hypocrellin B (HB) at the molecular level. It brought to light that the essence of the chan...
Raman spectroscopic characteristics of microcosmic and photosensitive damage on space structure of DPPC liposomes sensitized by hypocrellin and its derivatives are obvious. The trans conformation decreased and the gau...
Laser Raman spectroscopy provided the direct evidence for microcosmic photodamage in space structure of DNA molecule. When photosensitive damage was made to space structure of calf thymus DNA by hypocrellins A and B, ...
