Pyrimidine Dimers
Cyclobutane-Pyrimidine Dimers; Cytosine-Thymine Dimers; Thymine-Cyclobutane Dimer; Thymine-Thymine Cyclobutane Dimer; Cyclobutane Dimer, Thymine-Thymine; Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers; Cytosine Thymine Dimers; Dimer, Thymine-Cyclobutane
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.
