New Discovery Reveals How Two Proteins Collaborate to Detect UV-Induced DNA Damage

The findings were published online in the esteemed journal Nucleic Acids Research (Impact Factor: 16.6) on June 18, 2025.

Abstract Ultraviolet-induced DNA lesions are removed by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. In global-genome NER (GG-NER), XPC-RAD23B recognizes the lesions and initiates NER. However, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), which d... Read More
