Exposure of cells to near-infrared irradiation relaxes chromatin compaction and facilitates recognition of cyclo-butane pyrimidine dimers by Beata Plitta-Michalak, Ksenia G Kolobynina, Qinghua Qin, Ishita Jain, I-Peng Chen, Stefan Henning, Beate Volkmer, Rüdiger Greinert, Anja Tham, Petra Boukamp, Alexander Rapp

“…Increasing single strand break levels (SSB) occur transiently after nIR exposure and independent of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. These data suggest that the rate-limiting step in the NER repair process – damage recognition – is facilitated by nIR-induced chromatin relaxation, causing the accumulation of unnatural high levels of SSBs and single stranded DNA, unfavourable for the cell fate resulting in reduced survival and increased mutation rates. …”
