DNA repair by Photoreactivation. This is a DNA repair mechanism in which the enzyme DNA photolyase removes the pyrimidine dimers form the DNA. The binding of photolyase with the dimer occurs in dark, where as the catalysis of dimer removal requires light. Hence this phenomenon is known as photoreactivation.
