Abstract
UVA irradiation of dihydronicotinamide coenzyme (NADH), which plays a key role in a number of biological redox processes, results in effective DNA cleavage without oxygen via photoionization of NADH and the subsequent reaction of hydrated electron with DNA as well as photoinduced electron transfer from NADH to DNA.
