What (who) is D-dimer - definition


D-dimer         
FIBRIN DEGRADATION PRODUCT
D dimer; D-dimer protein; D-dimers; Fibrinogen equivalent unit; D-Dimer
D-dimer (or D dimer) is a fibrin degradation product (or FDP), a small protein fragment present in the blood after a blood clot is degraded by fibrinolysis. It is so named because it contains two D fragments of the fibrin protein joined by a cross-link, hence forming a protein dimer.
Direct DNA damage         
  • Left: cyclobutane dimer (CPD).  Right: 6,4-dimer (6-4PP)
TYPE OF DNA DAMAGE
Thymine dimer; Cyclobutyl dimer; Thymine dimers; Thymine dimerization; Direct DNA damage; Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer; Pyridimine dimer; Cyclobutane thymine dimerization; Pyrimidine dimers; Cytosine dimer
Direct DNA damage can occur when DNA directly absorbs a UVB photon, or for numerous other reasons. UVB light causes thymine base pairs next to each other in genetic sequences to bond together into pyrimidine dimers, a disruption in the strand, which reproductive enzymes cannot copy.
Pyrimidine dimer         
  • Left: cyclobutane dimer (CPD).  Right: 6,4-dimer (6-4PP)
TYPE OF DNA DAMAGE
Thymine dimer; Cyclobutyl dimer; Thymine dimers; Thymine dimerization; Direct DNA damage; Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer; Pyridimine dimer; Cyclobutane thymine dimerization; Pyrimidine dimers; Cytosine dimer
Pyrimidine dimers are molecular lesions formed from thymine or cytosine bases in DNA via photochemical reactions,
