Abstract

The effects of UV-A and visible light on the motion of Bonghan Granules (BHGs) were reported. It was shown that the average velocity and acceleration increased significantly after irradiation with UV-A light (355-375nm), although there was no notable change after irradiation with blue light (380-420nm). The absorber of the UV-A light might be DNA molecules inside the BHGs and the BHG could be thought as an active Brownian particle.
