Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, the light-dependent repair of pyrimidine dimers in UV-irradiated DNA is now accepted as being due to enzymatic photoreactivation (PR) by a 50 kDa enzyme, photolyase (EC 4.1.99.3). The gene for this enzyme has been mapped at 16.2 min and designated phr. This gene was earlier d...
