Electron‐catalyzed repair of thymine dimers in double‐stranded DNA is described by B. Giese, T. Carell, O. Schiemann, and co‐workers on page 1848 ff. Transport of an electron from a remote modified thymine base through DNA occurs in a multistep hopping process. When the electron meets a thymine dimer, which is generated by photocycloaddition of adjacent thymine residues, the two thymine bases are repaired through a retro‐cyclization reaction, while the electron continues along the DNA.
