Evidence for dinucleotide flipping by DNA photolyase.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 7 Aug 1998

Vande Berg B J, Sancar G B

Abstract excerpt

DNA photolyases repair pyrimidine dimers via a reaction in which light energy drives electron donation from a catalytic chromophore, FADH-, to the dimer. The crystal structure of Escherichia coli photolyase suggested that the pyrimidine dimer is flipped out of the DNA helix and into a cavity that...
