Schematic representation of mechanism of aPDT. Triggered by the light, ground state photosensitizer transfer into excited singlet state and triplet state. The triplet state can undergo type I (electron transfer) reaction and type II (energy transfer) reaction to produce singlet oxygen, which can cause oxidative damage.
