Abstract
Singlet oxygen is an excited form of molecular oxygen, which exhibits high chemical reactivity. Singlet oxygen-mediated processes occur in numerous chemical and photochemical reactions in different biological systems and living organisms. Singlet oxygen can be produced as the result of the physical excitation of molecular oxygen, chemical or natural biological reactions, and photosensitization process. This paper considers methods for singlet oxygen generation and detection and focusing on applications in biology and medicine.
