English reading The triple damage of sunlight on the human bodyThe most obvious effects of too much sun exposure are cosmetic1 like wrinkled and rough skin Some damage however goes deeper -- ultraviol

certain conditions, such as exposure to UV light, electrons can become unpaired, resulting in a triplet state. The researchers found that when peptides containing tyrosine or phenylalanine were exposed to UV light, they formed triplet states that could lead to more extensive damage than fragmentation alone. This study highlights the importance of understanding the mechanisms underlying protein degradation caused by UV light and suggests potential avenues for developing better protection against the harmful effects of sunlight on the human body
