Magnesium(II) Phthalocyanine

Ref. 3D-FM62480

Product Information

• Name: Magnesium(II) Phthalocyanine
• Synonyms: Phthalocyanine Magnesium(II)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Magnesium(II) Phthalocyanine (MgPc) is a molecule that has been used for the development of a model system for the study of hydrogen fluoride-induced DNA damage. This material has a high chemical stability and low energy light emission. It can be activated by radiation or light, which leads to the release of electrons from the MgPc molecules. These electrons are captured by oxygen molecules in the air to produce free radicals, which are highly reactive with other molecules such as DNA. The type strain that was used in this research was C. parvum, although it is not limited to this organism.
