Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) are the major DNA photoproducts of thymine-thymine dinucleotides upon ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Failure in the repair of damaged DNA may lead to DNA replication errors, DNA mutations, and even cell death. Photoreactivation can mediate the repair of UV-induced DNA lesions by photolyases upon UVA (315-400 nm) or blue light (400-500 nm) irradiation. Herein, the UVC (254 nm)-induced DNA damage and photoenzymatic repair of the CPD products were simultaneously monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The UVC-damaged dT20 was first immobilized on the gold electrode, and the specific recognition by the anti-CPD antibody leads to significantly increased EIS signals. The electron transfer resistance (Ret) values were linearly proportional to the concentrations of damaged dT20 ranging from 0.005 to 0.1 μM, and a detection limit of 3.06 nM was achieved. Using surface plasmon resonance, the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) between the CPDs in dT20 and anti-CPD antibody was estimated to be (3.32 ± 0.31) × 10-12 M, indicating the strong binding affinity. Evidenced by EIS, the CPDs in the damaged dT20 could be repaired by the attached DNA photolyase under UVA (365 nm) photoexcitation, and the detachment of the photolyase from the DNA strand was accomplished after completion of the repair process. The repair efficiency was calculated to be 70.0% by EIS, being consistent with that of 71.4% by UV spectroscopy. The electrochemical method is simple, sensitive and straightforward, holding great potential for assaying other types of DNA lesions and their repair processes.

D011740 Pyrimidine Dimers Dimers found in DNA chains damaged by ULTRAVIOLET RAYS. They consist of two adjacent PYRIMIDINE NUCLEOTIDES, usually THYMINE nucleotides, in which the pyrimidine residues are covalently joined by a cyclobutane ring. These dimers block DNA REPLICATION.

D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries

D004260 DNA Repair The removal of DNA LESIONS and/or restoration of intact DNA strands without BASE PAIR MISMATCHES, intrastrand or interstrand crosslinks, or discontinuities in the DNA sugar-phosphate backbones. DNA Damage Response
D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.

D058266 Dielectric Spectroscopy A technique of measuring the dielectric properties of materials, which vary over a range of frequencies depending on the physical properties of the material. The technique involves measuring, over a range of frequencies, ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE and phase shift of an electric field as it passes through the material.
