Thymine Dimers and Inhibition of DNA Synthesis by Ultraviolet Irradiation of Cells
Abstract
Measurements of the inhibition of DNA synthesis in bacteria and the formation of thymine dimers by ultraviolet irradiation of the cells indicate that one thymine dimer per 350-μ strand of DNA acts as a block to further synthesis. In a sensitive strain of Escherichia coli the blocks are permanent. In a resistant strain the blocks are only temporary but recovery of synthesis is not the result of splitting dimers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
