Document Summary

Dr. dolphin, uses harnessing light energy and exciting oxygen to aid eye disease patients. High energetic state of oxygen can toxic (singlet oxygen that interfere with cell division: produce right where you want to use it (photodynamic therapy)- use to specifically kill cancer cells. Hein group - organic molecule with iron in middle. Different absorption maximums enhancing range and penetration depth of light (different wavelengths) can be excreted from system quickly. Smoke and fire promos germination (chemical compound) How to find a reproducible method that generates specific compounds (standardize) to get exact results when doing the experiment elsewhere. Achieve separation of compounds based on states then would go on to chemical analysis with the mass spectrometer.
