Pyrimidine dimers are chemical species issued from a photochemical reaction involving two pyrimidine (P) nucleobases (thymine, cytosine, or uracil) through formation of new covalent bonds. The discovery of pyrimidine dimers was initially prompted by the observation that ultraviolet (UV) radiation inactivates cells.
