Definition of photochemical in English:
photochemical
adjective fəʊtə(ʊ)ˈkɛmɪk(ə)lˌfoʊdoʊˈkɛmɪk(ə)l
1Relating to or caused by the chemical action of light.
Example sentencesExamples
- The small rings are made to move around the big ring by bathing them in light of different wavelengths; the light energy fuels the photochemical reaction to break the hydrogen bonds.
- This is a problem for museums because photochemical oxidation is not required; the reactions take place in the dark.
- One influential school of thought focuses on the effects of oxidation reactions brought about by active oxygen species generated by photochemical reactions involving blue and UV light.
- Photoproduct levels may reflect the net photochemical effects of light and oxygen within tissue on native photosensitizers.
- In addition, the carrier molecule may also protect some dyes from chemical, photochemical or radiolytic degradation.
- 1.1 Relating to photochemistry.
Example sentencesExamples
- The program emphasized photochemical approaches, although thermochemical processes were also evaluated.
- Ever since mechanical and photochemical advances in the 19th century gave rise to the invention of motion picture recording and display, the evolution of the ‘art’ of film has been a consequence of the rate of technological change.
Derivatives
adverb
Lawton had previously demonstrated that the diazopyruvoyl group could be used as a photochemically active precursor for covalent attachment of labeling and cross-linking agents to proteins containing nucleophilic sites.
Example sentencesExamples
- During the oxidative stress of constant ultraviolet radiation, at least one photochemically active tryptophan metabolite, N-formyl kynurenine (NF-Kyn), is formed in the lens.
- In the photogravure process, the image is photochemically transferred to an etching plate that has been coated with a light-sensitive emulsion.
- The light-stimulated uptake of ammonium, for instance, indicates the involvement of the enzyme glutamate synthase, which, in many other photosynthetic systems, is driven by photochemically derived reduced ferredoxin.
- In addition and parallel to drug photobleaching during PDT, native photosensitizers can be photochemically converted to new species known as ‘photoproducts’.
Rhymes
academical, agrochemical, alchemical, biochemical, chemical, petrochemical, polemical
