ABSTRACT A water-soluble covalently linked C(60)-porphyrin compound-C(60)Por is reported to show enhanced DNA-cleaving activity. The highly enhanced DNA-cleaving activity is expected to be ascribed to the high water-solubility and affinity of C(60)Por to DNA, as well as to the accessibility to the charge-separated states C(60)˙(-)-Por˙(+) formed under radiation.
