UV radiation because mutations in DNA that can be repaired by either light repair (photo reactivation) or dark repair. briefly describe these two repair mechanisms and discuss how they are alike and how they are different
Cells in culture have been exposed to a large dose of UV light. What is the specific result of this treatment? What is the general mechanism used to repair this damage? What would the DNA look like if these repair enzymes were inhibited? Before: After: Incoming UV photon
Nucleic Acid Structure Explain why the absorption of UV light by double-stranded DNA increases (the hyperchromic effect) when the DNA is denatured.
