Abstract

Hydrolysis of TA photoproduct leads to two derivatives presenting different formation kinetic profiles depending on the oligomer content. The formation efficiency of TA photoproducts in UV-C-irradiated DNA slightly exceeds the formation of the trans,syn cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer at TT sites.
