Photolyase, a flavoenzyme containing flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) molecule as a
catalytic cofactor, repairs UV-induced DNA damage of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) …

Photolyase is a flavin photoenzyme that repairs two DNA base damage products induced by
ultraviolet (UV) light: cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and 6-4 photoproducts. With …

Photolyases and cryptochromes form an almost ubiquitous family of blue light
photoreceptors involved in the repair and maintenance of DNA integrity or regulatory control …

Photolyases, a class of flavoproteins, use blue light to repair two types of ultraviolet-induced
DNA damage, a cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) and a pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) …

Exposure to the ultraviolet component of sunlight causes DNA damage, which subsequently
leads to mutations, cellular transformation, and cell death. DNA photoproducts with (6-4) …

Flavin-binding cryptochromes are blue-light sensitive photoreceptors that have been
implicated with magnetoreception in some species. The photocycle involves an intra-protein …

Photolyase, a photomachine discovered half a century ago for repair of sun‐induced DNA
damage of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine (6‐4) pyrimidone …

In this report, we study the photoactivation process in Escherichia coli DNA photolyase,
involving long-range electron transport along a conserved chain of Trp residues between …

Exposure of DNA to ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun or from other sources causes the
formation of harmful and carcinogenic crosslinks between adjacent pyrimidine nucleobases …

Direct repair of UV‐induced DNA lesions represents an elegant method for many organisms
to deal with these highly mutagenic and cytotoxic compounds. Although the participating …
