Abstract excerpt

The consequence of translesional replication of unique UV-induced photoproducts is reviewed here. Mutagenesis induced by unique UV-induced lesions, the thymine-thymine dimer (TT) and the thymine-thymine pyrimidine pyrimidone (6-4), [T(6-4)T] carried on single-stranded DNA vectors and replicated i...
