Description

In polynucleotides the 2-photon processes induced by high intensity ultraviolet irradiation may plan an important role resulting not only in degradation of nucleic acid bases but in some other conversions. These data provide evidence that high intensity ultraviolet irradiation of aqueous solutions of thymidine, adenosine and 2'-deoxyadenosine brings about simultaneous degradation of nucleic acid bases and cleavage of N-glycosidic bonds.
