The Mutagenic Potential of the Cyclobutane Cytosine Dimer Lesions... [Pg.2731]

To summarize, at our current level of understanding, the mutagenic effect of UV light is clearly dominated by the formation of the cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and (6—4) photoadducts. Among them, the cytosine-containing lesions are the most mutagenic lesions due to their sensitivity to hydrolytic deamination. [Pg.2734]
