Abstract: Proteins of the cryptochrome/photolyase family (CPF) exhibit sequence and structural conservation, but their functions are divergent. Photolyase is a DNA repair enzyme that catalyzes the light‐dependent repair of ultraviolet (UV)‐induced photoproducts, whereas cryptochrome acts as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/php.12696
Abstract: 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, namely cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and pyrimidine(6–4)pyrimidone photoproducts. Nature has… read more here.
