Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a potential photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy. In this study, the mechanism of DNA damage catalyzed by photo-irradiated TiO2 was examined using [32P]-5'-end-labeled DNA fragments obtained from human genes. Photo-irradiated TiO2 (anatase and rutile) caused DNA cleavage
