Résumé
Dipicolinic acid (DPA), present in large amount in bacterial spores, has been proposed to act as an endogenous photosensitizer in spore photoproduct formation. The proposed mechanism involves a triplet-triplet energy transfer from DPA to thymine. However, up to now, no spectroscopic studies have been performed to determine the interaction between the endogenous compound and the nucleobase, probably due to its photolability in aqueous solutions. Here, triplet excited state properties of DPA are reported together with its bimolecular quenching rate constant by thymidine, k
