Purification and initial characterization of a putative blue light-regulated phosphodiesterase from Escherichia coli.

abstract：:Previous studies have reported that 450 nm blue light emitting diode (BLED) induces apoptosis through a mitochondria-mediated pathway in cancer cells and reduces the early stage tumor growth. This study was performed to determine the effects of BLED-irradiated cell metabolites on cell injury. Our results showed that c...
