UV light mutagenesis UV에 의한 돌연변이 유발에 관한 실험 보고서 (영어 번역본 ＋ 한글 번역본)

1. Introduction

Ultraviolet (UV) light mutagenesis is a significant area of study within the field of genetics and molecular biology, focusing on the mechanisms by which UV radiation induces mutations in various organisms. UV light is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays, ranging from approximately 10 nm to 400 nm. It is categorized into several bands, including UVA, UVB, and UVC. Among these, UVB is particularly notorious for its mutagenic effects on DNA due to its ability to be absorbed by nucleic acids, leading to the formation of DNA lesions. The most common type of damage caused by UV light is the formation of pyrimidine dimers, specifically thymine dimers, where two adjacent thymine bases covalently bond, disrupting the normal structure of DNA and interfering with replication and transcription processes. Understanding the mutagenic properties of UV light is crucial, as it has profound implications for living o
