Structures of pyrimidine dimer photoproducts

Description
When one examines either UV-irradiated DNA or the DNA extracted from a UV-irradiated organism, one detects small amounts of many different altered DNA constituents, called photoproducts.

Prominent among them are intrastrand dimers consisting of two pyrimidine bases joined by a cyclobutane ring structure involving carbons 5 and 6 called thymine dimers (a).
