Cockayne syndromeis caused by a defect in a pathway responsible for removing the products of this phenomenon; that pathwayis NER.
This is used as a crosslinking agent to bind RNA-binding proteins to RNA in the CLIP assay. It's notbleach or ethanol, but people using fume hoods for tissue culture usually apply this to the hood for one hourbefore use. 7-dehydrocholesterol is converted to cholecalciferol via this phenomenon. Cockayne syndromeis caused by a defect in a pathway responsible for removing the products of this phenomenon; that pathwayis NER. This phenomenon is responsible for creating 6,4 products and thymine (*) dimers, and people withxeroderma pigmentosum are sensitive to it. It is used to visualize gels that have been stained by ethidium bromide,and this phenomenon oxidizes melanin, thus darkening skin. For 10 points, name this type of electromagneticradiation that has a wavelength between 10 and 400 nm.
This is used as a crosslinking agent to bind RNA-binding proteins to RNA in the CLIP assay.
