Two teams of bio-researchers have developed similar processes for demonstrating how photolyase isolates use light to repair damaged DNA. In their papers, both published in the journal Science, the two ...

Two teams of researchers have uncovered microscopic details of how a protein called photolyase uses light to repair DNA. The discovery could help develop sustainable technologies for chemical ...

The preservation of genomic integrity is vital, particularly following ultraviolet irradiation, which can induce harmful DNA lesions. Photolyases are light‐activated flavoenzymes that harness blue ...

An international team of researchers has used time-resolved ultrafast crystallography to follow the progress of DNA repair by a photolyase enzyme. The work is ‘the first structural characterisation of ...

Protecting skin from photoaging and photocarcinogenesis requires not only sunscreen — ideally a mineral sunscreen with iron oxide — but also use of topical antioxidants, including polyphenols, and ...
