Enzyme inactivation by photoexcited titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and prevention by encapsulation
Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is used in sunscreens because it reflects and scatters UV light. However, TiO 2 can catalyze in vitro oxidative damage to DNA, to cultured human fibroblasts and can also inactivate the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) upon photoexcitation by UV light. The effects of phot...
