Abstract
The removal of DNA damage from the eukaryotic genome requires DNA repair en zymes to operate within the complex environment of chromatin. We review the evidence for chromatin rearrangements during nucleotide excision repair an d discuss the extent and possible molecular mechanisms of these rearrangeme nts, focusing on events at the nucleosome level of chromatin structure.
