Abstract
5-Formyl-2'-deoxycytidine, an intermediate during the erasure of epigenetic marker 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine, and 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine, an oxidative lesion of thymidine, are naturally occurring DNA modifications. The carbonyl groups of these DNA modifications are the smallest possible photosensitizers and have the potential to generate cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers upon irradiation with UV light. To evidence this damaging potential, ternary DNA architectures were used, in which the photosensitizer and the damage site were located at well-defined positions in the sequences. The quantitative and time-dependent analysis revealed not only the high photodamaging potential of both natural DNA modifications but also the mechanisms for this new pathway to photodamage. 5-Formyl-2'-deoxycytidine is more efficiently generating cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers than 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine because the latter is also photochemically converted to 5-carboxy-2'-deoxyuridine. This demonstrates for the first time that epigenetic DNA modifications regulating gene expression interact with sunlight and can induce DNA photodamages.

Abstract
We herein report a method for site-selective photo-crosslinking of a DNA duplex. A stilbene pair was introduced into a DNA duplex and a ruthenium complex was conjugated with a triplex-forming oligonucleotide. We demonstrated that [2+2] photocycloaddition of the stilbene pair occurred upon irradiation with visible light when the ruthenium complex was in close proximity due to triplex formation. No reaction occurred when the ruthenium complex was not in proximity to the stilbene pair. The wavelength of visible light used was of lower energy than the wavelength of UV light necessary for direct excitation of stilbene. Quantum chemical calculation indicated that ruthenium complex catalyzed the photocycloaddition via triplet-triplet energy transfer. Site selectivity of this photo-crosslinking system was evaluated using a DNA duplex bearing two stilbene pairs as a substrate; we showed that the site of crosslinking was precisely regulated by the sequence of the oligonucleotide linked to the ruthenium complex. Since this method does not require orthogonal photoresponsive molecules, it will be useful in construction of complex photoresponsive DNA circuits, nanodevices and biological tools.

Abstract
The direct and sequence-dependent investigation of photochemical processes in DNA on the way to cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) as DNA damage requires the probing by photochemically different photosensitizers. The C-nucleosides of xanthone, thioxanthone, 3-methoxyxanthone, and triphenylene as photosensitizers were synthesized by Heck couplings and incorporated into ternary photoactive DNA architectures. This structural approach allows the site-selective excitation of the DNA by UV light. Together with a single defined site for T-T dimerization, not only the direct CPD formation but also the distance-dependent CPD formation in DNA as well as the possibility for energy transport processes could be investigated. Direct CPD formation was observed with xanthone, 3-methoxyxanthone, and triphenylene as sensitizers but not with thioxanthone. Only xanthone was able to induce CPDs remotely by a triplet energy transfer over up to six intervening A-T base pairs. Taken together, more precise information on the sequence dependence of the DNA triplet photochemistry was obtained.

Abstract
Covalent crosslinking of DNA strands provides a useful tool for medical, biochemical, and DNA nanotechnology applications. Here we present a light-induced interstrand DNA crosslinking reaction using the modified nucleoside 5-phenylethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (PhedU). The crosslinking ability of PhedU was programmed by base pairing and by metal ion interaction at the Watson-Crick base pairing site. Rotation to intrahelical positions was favored by hydrophobic stacking and enabled an unexpected photochemical alkene-alkyne [2 + 2] cycloaddition within the DNA duplex, resulting in efficient formation of a PhedU dimer after short irradiation times of a few seconds. A PhedU-dimer-containing DNA was shown to efficiently bind a helicase complex, but the covalent crosslink completely prevented DNA unwinding, suggesting possible applications in biochemistry or structural biology.

Abstract
![]()
Photosensitized thymine<>thymine (Thy<>Thy)
formation and
repair can be mediated by carbazole (Cbz). The former occurs from
the Cbz triplet excited state via energy transfer, while the latter
takes place from the singlet excited state via electron transfer.
Here, fundamental insight is provided into the role of the topology
and excited state multiplicity, as factors governing the balance between
both processes. This has been achieved upon designing and synthesizing
different isomers of trifunctional systems containing one Cbz and
two Thy units covalently linked to the rigid skeleton of the natural
deoxycholic acid. The results shown here prove that the Cbz photosensitized
dimerization is not counterbalanced by repair when the latter, instead
of operating through-space, has to proceed through-bond.

Abstract
The myriad health benefits associated with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) laid the path for their application in the functional foods and nutraceutical industries. Fish being primarily exploited for extraction of EPA and DHA are unsustainable sources; thus, oleaginous microalgae turn out to be an alternative sustainable source. This review paper aims to provide the recent developments in the context of enhancing EPA and DHA production by utilising non-genetic tailoring and genetic tailoring methods. We have also summarized the legislation, public perception, and possible risks associated with the usage of genetically modified microalgae focusing on EPA and DHA production.

Abstract
Among the naturally occurring nucleobases, thymine presents the lowest triplet state, hence it represents a hotspot for energy transfer and photosensitization. In turn, the population of the triplet state may lead to thymine dimerization and hence to the production of toxic DNA lesions and has been the subject of intensive theoretical and experimental investigations. Relying on QM/MM molecular dynamics simulations, we have sought to situate the energy of the lowest triplet state of thymine embedded in a B-DNA environment. The energy gap varies between 305 and 329 kJ mol-1 when a single thymine is treated at the quantum chemistry level, depending on its position in the model double-stranded 16-bp oligonucleotide. The energy of triplet state decreases up to 300 kJ mol-1 , due to polarization effects, when we consider coupled stacked nucleobases up to the inclusion of four nucleobases. Our value lies in good agreement with the energy inferred experimentally by Miranda and coworkers (270 kJ mol-1 ), and our theoretical exploration opens the door to investigations toward other more complex and biologically relevant environments, such as thymines embedded in nucleosome core particles. Our investigations also provide a reference for further studies using semi-empirical approaches such as density functional-based tight-binding, allowing to further rationalize sequence effects.

Nucleic Acids Res 2021; 49:4266-4280.

Abstract
Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) are the major products of DNA produced by direct absorption of UV light, and result in C to T mutations linked to human skin cancers. Most recently a new pathway to CPDs in melanocytes has been discovered that has been proposed to arise from a chemisensitized pathway involving a triplet sensitizer that increases mutagenesis by increasing the percentage of C-containing CPDs. To investigate how triplet sensitization may differ from direct UV irradiation, CPD formation was quantified in a 129-mer DNA designed to contain all 64 possible NYYN sequences. CPD formation with UVB light varied about 2-fold between dipyrimidines and 12-fold with flanking sequence and was most frequent at YYYR and least frequent for GYYN sites in accord with a charge transfer quenching mechanism. In contrast, photosensitized CPD formation greatly favored TT over C-containing sites, more so for norfloxacin (NFX) than acetone, in accord with their differing triplet energies. While the sequence dependence for photosensitized TT CPD formation was similar to UVB light, there were significant differences, especially between NFX and acetone that could be largely explained by the ability of NFX to intercalate into DNA.

Abstract
A new DNA architecture addresses the question, how far energy migrates in DNA and forms cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) as photodamages causing skin cancer. The 3-methoxyxanthone nucleoside allows site-selective photoenergy injection into DNA. The designated CPD site lacks the phosphodiester bond and can be placed in defined distances. The CPD formation links two oligonucleotides together and allows probing by gel electrophoresis. We obtained a sigmoidal distance dependence with R0 of 25±3 Å. Below R0 , short-range energy migration occurs with high CPD yields and shallow distance dependence, characteristic for a coherent process. 5-methyl-C as epigenetic modification on the 3'-side facilitates CPD formation. Above R0 , long-range incoherent energy migration occurs over 30 A-T pairs (105.4 Å). The evidence of long-range CPD formation is fundamental for our understanding of DNA photodamaging.

Abstract
The incorporation of nucleotides equipped with C-glycosidic aromatic nucleobases into DNA and RNA is an alluring strategy for a number of practical applications including fluorescent labelling of oligonucleotides, expansion of the genetic alphabet for the generation of aptamers and semi-synthetic organisms, or the modulation of excess electron transfer within DNA. However, the generation of C-nucleoside containing oligonucleotides relies mainly on solid-phase synthesis which is quite labor intensive and restricted to short sequences. Here, we explore the possibility of constructing biphenyl-modified DNA sequences using enzymatic synthesis. The presence of multiple biphenyl-units or biphenyl residues modified with electron donors and acceptors permits the incorporation of a single dBphMP nucleotide. Moreover, templates with multiple abasic sites enable the incorporation of up to two dBphMP nucleotides, while TdT-mediated tailing reactions produce single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides with four biphenyl residues appended at the 3'-end.

On the basis of transient infrared spectroscopy it has been previously claimed that 2M is an interesting photosensitiser for cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) formation. In the present paper, a complete UV-Vis transient absorption spectroscopic characterisation of this compound is provided, including triplet-triplet spectra, triplet lifetimes and rate constants for quenching of 2M by a dimeric thymine derivative. Furthermore, generation of singlet oxygen has been proven by time-resolved near IR phosphorescence measurements. Overall, the obtained results confirm the potential of 2M as a DNA photosensitiser, not only for CPDs formation, but also for oxidative damage.

Abstract
Benzophenone (BP) and drugs containing the BP chromophore, such as the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen, have been widely reported as DNA photosensitizers through triplet-triplet energy transfer (TTET). In the present work, a direct spectroscopic fingerprint for the formation of the thymine triplet (3 Thy*) by through-bond (TB) TTET from 3 BP* has been uncovered. This has been achieved in two new systems that have been designed and synthesized with one BP and one thymine (Thy) covalently linked to the two ends of the rigid skeleton of the natural bile acids cholic and lithocholic acid. The results shown here prove that it is possible to achieve triplet energy transfer to a Thy unit even when the photosensitizer is at a long (nonbonding) distance.

Abstract
Long-range triplet excitation energy transfer in DNA occurs through hops between T bases, providing it with a shallow distance dependence. Hops over two thymines on the same strand are preferred.
