Abstract excerpt
Pyrimidine dimer (PD)-DNA glycosylase activity has been reported in both the M. luteus and phage T4 UV endonucleases. In the present studies the T4 PD-DNA glycosylase has been purified close to physical homogeneity using an assay that measures the release of free thymine from UV-irradiated poly ([H5] dT):poly (dA), after the photo-reversal of thymine-thymine dimers. The activity has also been demonstrated in vivo...
