摘要：

Abstract— The photochemistry and photobiology of psoralens have been rcvicwed on the basis of selected literature. In addition to the well establishcd photoaddition of psoralens to DNA. photoreac‐tions involving RNA. tRNA and proteins warrant further studies. Although thymine seems to be one of the predominant bases for the psoralen photocycloaddition in DNA. photoreactions of other bases such as adenine and the mechanisms other than cycloaddition should also be investigated in order to fully assess the specificity of psoralen photoreactions and their application BS a probe for biopolymer structure and as a tool for photobiological studies of microorganisms. The relativc photobiological importance of monoaddition vs crosslinking of psoralens to nucleic acids also remains to be fully elucidated. Copyright © 1979, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
