Definition of dimerization :
The chemical union of two identical molecules.

Trans-dimer synthesis
A process which permits nucleotides to be inserted opposite a pyrimidine dimer. Because this process is not based upon complementary base pairing, the wrong base pairs may be inserted, resulting in a mutation.

P960 A dimer of bacterial chlorophyll-b molecules, called the special pair, that absorbs light maximally at 960 nm; initiates charge separation in bacterial photosynthesis.

PTTH is a homodimer of two polypeptides of 109 amino acids.
PTTH does not drive pupation directly but, as its name suggests, acts on the prothoracic glands.
Ecdysone ...

This type of mutation, called a thymine dimer, can result in incorrect nucleotides being paired with it when the strand is replicated.

Interaction of Dimeric Intercalating Fluorescent Dyes with Single-Stranded DNA

The process whereby dimerized pyrimidines (usually thymines) in DNA are restored by an enzyme (deoxyribodipyrimidine photolyase) that requires light energy.

Two of the monomer units form a coiled-coil dimer that self-associates in an anti-parallel arrangement to form a staggered tetramer, ...

Cysteine can react with itself to form an oxidized dimer by formation of a disulfide bond.

[L. carbo, charcoal + hydro, water]
A sugar (monosaccharide) or one of its dimers (disaccharides) or polymers (polysaccharides).
carbon cycle ...

excision repair Means by which cells are able to repair certain kinds of damage (dimerized pyrimidines) in their DNA.
excitation Electron movement caused by light striking the chlorophyll molecule.

Dominant-negative mutation: A (heterozygous) dominant mutation on one allele blocking the activity of wild-type protein still encoded by the normal allele (often by dimerising with it) causing a loss-of-function phenotype.

AP-1 is actually a complex between c-fos protein and c-jun protein, or sometimes is just c-jun dimers. The AP-1 site consensus sequence is (C/G)TGACT(C/A)A. Also known as the TPA-response element (TRE).

Microtubules are small hollow cylinders (25 nm in diameter and from 200 nm-25 µm in length). These microtubules are composed of a globular protein tubulin. Assembly brings the two types of tubulin (alpha and beta) together as dimers, ...
