Irradiation of 32P labelled TpT+ by monochromatic light in the wavelength range 225 to 289 m[mu] results in the production of four chromatographically separable photoproducts. Two isomeric dimers, TpT1 and TpT2, approach an equilibrium with TpT with 2.5% in the dimer form at 225 m[mu] and 95% at 289 m[mu]. The relative yields of the dimers are 5;1 and independent of wave-length. One of the unknown photoproducts, TpT4 , which has an absorption maximum at 325 m[mu], is produced irreversibly from TpT at a yield comparable to the least plentiful dimer, TpT2. This photoproduct can in turn be converted to a second unknown, TpT3, by irradiation at 313 m[mu]. TpT3 can be reconverted to TpT4 by re-irradiation at 240 m[mu]. Since TpT3 and TpT4 have an extinction at 257 m[mu] which is about one-third of one thymine, it is likely that in both these compounds both thymine moieties are altered. None of the photoproducts in hydrolysed by venom phosphodiesterase; this also suggests that the thymine moieties in all four photoproducts are joined together. None of the photoproducts is completely stable at 85[degree]C at pH 1 or 13. No conclusive evidence for the production of a heat-hydrate photoproduct of TpT has been found. The cross-sections and quantum yields for the production of photoproducts from TpT, the reversal of dimers to TpT, and the interconversion of TpT4 and TpT3 have been determined as a function of wavelength, using chromato-graphically purified photoproducts. Mathematical analysis of the dose-effect curves permits the calculation of the cross-sections.
