The study of protein recruitment to UV-induced DNA lesions can be distorted by photoconversion of DNA dyes like Hoechst or DAPI [version 1; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]
A common approach used to assess DNA repair factor binding in mammalian cells is to induce DNA damage with a UV laser and follow the movement of GFP-tagged proteins to the site of damage. Often these measurements are performed in the presence of the blue DNA intercalating dye Hoechst or DAPI, which...
