Abstract

Abstract Cyclobutane uridine and thymidine dimers with cis-syn-structure are DNA lesions, which are efficiently repaired in many species by DNA photolyases. The essential step of the repair reaction is a light driven electron transfer from a reduced FAD cofactor (FADH−) to the dimer lesion, which splits spontaneously into the monomers. Repair studies with UV-light damaged DNA revealed significant rate differences for the various dimer lesions. In ...
