title: Photoinduced repair of a thymine dimer in DNA via carbazole nucleoside.
abstract: We report the photoinduced repair of a thymine dimer incorporated in a DNA duplex via oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) containing carbazole nucleoside (K). The occurrence of an electron transfer between K and thymine dimer is evidenced by fluorescence quenching measurements. K acts as a good electron donor for the photoinduced repair of a thymine dimer.
