Preferred Label : pyrimidine dimers;
MeSH definition : Dimers found in DNA chains damaged by ULTRAVIOLET RAYS. They consist of two adjacent
PYRIMIDINE NUCLEOTIDES, usually THYMINE nucleotides, in which the pyrimidine residues
are covalently joined by a cyclobutane ring. These dimers block DNA REPLICATION.;
