C8 is made up of two peptide chains: C8β and C8αϒ. 

Binding of C8β to the C5b67 complex induces a conformational change in the C8 dimer such that the hydrophobic domain of C8αϒ can insert into the interior of the phospholipid membrane.

Not only is nucleotide excision repair capable of mending damage throughout the genome, but it is also capable of rescuing RNA polymerase, the progression of which has been arrested by the presence of a lesion in the transcribed (template) strand of a gene, this phenomenon, known as transcription-coupled repair.

Bioactive brassinosteroid levels are also modulated by a variety of inactivation or catabolic reactions, including epimerization, oxidation, hydroxylation, sulfonation, and conjugation to glucose or lipids.
