The known functions of folate are to support one-carbon metabolism and to serve as photoreceptors for cryptochromes and photolyases. We demonstrate that 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF, the predominant folate in plasma) is also a potent, near diffusion limited, scavenger of singlet oxygen

A study of the photolysis of folic acid in aqueous solution by visible radiation in the presence of riboflavin has been made. The second-order rate constants for the bimolecular interaction of folic acid and riboflavin have been determined in the
Encapsulation provides efficient approaches to increase stability and delivery of poorly soluble bioactive components, predominantly for fortification of beverages and similar liquid-based foods. In this study, folic acid was encapsulated within conventional and emulsion-templated alginate-pectin hydrogels, proliposomes, and a combination

DNA damage mediated by photosensitizers participates in solar carcinogenesis. Fluorescence measurement and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis demonstrated that photoirradiated folic acid, one of the photosensitizers in cells, generates pterine-6-carboxylic acid (PCA). Experiments using 32P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from a human
