This advantage relates to the mechanism of UV-mediated crosslinking, which, although incompletely understood, is believed to involve absorption of UV light by nucleic acid bases44 to induce ground state electrons to a singlet higher-energy state that enables the electron to partake in a chemical reaction in which a new covalent bond is formed…
