A (photo)sensitive subject: Combined agarose gel electrophoresis and photochemical studies show that 5-methyl-2-pyrimidone (see picture), the main chromophore of (6-4) photoproducts, behaves as a DNA photosensitizer. These results raise the question of whether the (6-4) lesions can act as Trojan horses, enhancing cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) formation and oxidative damage. ; Spanish Government (CTQ2009-13699, CTQ2012-32621, RiRAAF RETICS RD12/0013/0009, Ramon y Cajal contract RyC2007-00476 to V.L.-V. and JAE-Predoc 2011-00740 to V.V.-C.). ; Vendrell Criado, V.; Rodríguez Muñiz, GM.; Cuquerella Alabort, MC.; Lhiaubet ., VL.; Miranda Alonso, MÁ.
