UV-induced cyclobutane dimers and 6-4 photoproducts, containing an unmodified nucleotide at the 5'-position were released from DNA by means of digestion with DNase I, snake venom phosphodiesterase and prostatic acid phosphatase. The enzymes were deactivated by proteinase K followed by ethanol precipitation. The products were phosphorylated by polynucleotide kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP. The TLC system used for the analysis enables separation of the different photoproducts and detection at a fmol level. T4 endonuclease treatment was applied to confirm the positions of cyclobutane dimers.

D010777 Photochemistry A branch of physical chemistry which studies chemical reactions, isomerization and physical behavior that may occur under the influence of visible and/or ultraviolet light. Photochemistries
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.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
