Trans-dimer synthesis
A process which permits nucleotides to be inserted opposite a pyrimidine dimer. Because this process is not based upon complementary base pairing, the wrong base pairs may be inserted, resulting in a mutation.

Thymine dimers can be directly converted to unlinked thymines by three means: exposure to low wavelength UV radiation; photosensitization by tryptophan or tryptophan containing peptides; enzymatically.

AP-1 is actually a complex between c-fos protein and c-jun protein, or sometimes is just c-jun dimers. The AP-1 site consensus sequence is (C/G) TGACT(C/A) A. Also known as the TPA-response element (TRE).
