Enhanced repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and improved UV resistance in photolyase transgenic mice
During evolution, placental mammals appear to have lost cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) photolyase, an enzyme that efficiently removes UV‐induced CPDs from DNA in a light‐dependent manner. As a ...

Detection of Distinct α-Helical Rearrangements of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimer Photolyase upon Substrate Binding by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
The cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer PHR (CPD-PHR) from Escherichia coli binds flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a cofactor and 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate as a light-harvesting pigment and ...
