abstract = "The kinetics of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) synthesis, bioconversion toother metabolic products, and photobleaching were measured in cell cultures after incubation in media containing the metabolic precursor for heme synthesis. A compartmental model described the kinetics in terms of rate constants for the three processes. Using the information, two dosimetry protocols are outlined which both involve complete photobleaching of the PPIX.",
