Replication-fork stalling and processing at a single psoralen interstrand crosslink in Xenopus egg extracts.

Interstrand crosslink (ICL)-inducing agents block the separation of the two DNA strands. They prevent transcription and replication and are used in clinics for the treatment of cancer and skin diseases.
