Enzymatic Reversal of Polymeric Thymine Photocrosslinking with E. coli DNA Photolyase

Polymers containing pendant thymine groups undergo a 2π+2π cycloaddition crosslinking reaction. The enzyme DNA photolyase has been demonstrated to reverse this photocrosslinking in thymine containing styrene derivatives.
