Photooxidation of pterin in aqueous solutions: Biological and biomedical implications

Studies of the photochemical reactivity of pterin (-2-aminopteridin-4(3H)- one; PT) in acidic (pH 5.0 -6.0) and alkaline (pH 10.2 - 10.8) aqueous solutions have been performed. The photochemical reactions were followed by UV/VIS spectrophotometry, thin layer chromatography (TLC), high-performance li...
