a Schematic illustration of the photodegradation assays. b Gel electrophoresis image. A total of 1012 copies/mL pseudoviruses incorporating the SARS-CoV-2 N gene were incubated with 50 μM CPs for 15 min and then irradiated with white light (75 mW/cm2) for 5 min. The gene number of light-irradiated samples was amplified by one round of PCR and then analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis.
