Abstract excerpt
Two major ultraviolet-induced photolesions of TpT, a (6-4) photoproduct [T(6-4)T] and a cis-syn cyclobutane TT dimer (T=T), were incorporated into a predetermined site of one of the leading and lagging template strands of a double-stranded vector, and the modified DNAs were transfected into simian COS-7 cells. The DNAs replicated in the cells were recovered and were transfected again into Escherichia coli. The...
