Photosensitized splitting of cis-syn 1,3-dimethylthymine dimer by tryptophan and its peptides (Trp-Phe) was studied based on the fluorescence quenching experiments and irradiation experiments deteimining the splitting percentage of the dimer. It was revealed that 1,3-dimethylthymine dimer was mainly splitted by e_(aq)~- resulted from Lwo-photon ionization of Trp and its peptides under irradiation with light (λ > 290 ran) . Moreover, the excited singlet state of Trp and its peptides can transfer an electron to the dimer and make it splitted. In addition, the excited triplet state of Trp can also transfer an electron to the dimer and make it splitted.
