Abstract excerpt
The (6-4) pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproduct [(6-4)PP] is a major DNA lesion induced by ultraviolet radiation. (6-4)PP induces complex mutations opposite its downstream bases, in addition to opposite 3' or 5' base, as has been observed through a site-specific translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) assay. The mechanism by which these mutations occur is not well understood. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying...
