From international conference on the bases of the biological effects of ultraviolet radiation; Brno, Czechoslovakia (2 Oct The radiochromatographic method is widely used in pyrimidine dimer assay, including assay of thymine dimers (TT). Some of the problems met with when using this method are discussed, namely: 1. the influence of thymine (T) and thymidine (TdR) added to the cultivation medium after irradiation on the observed initial and actually excised amount of TT; 2. the size of fragments of excised TT after gel filtration; 3. decomposition of T by peroxides.
