Term Name: | purine-specific mismatch base pair DNA N-glycosylase activity |
---|---|
Synonyms: | A/G-specific adenine DNA glycosylase activity |
Definition: | Catalysis of the removal of purines present in mismatches, especially opposite oxidized purines, by cleaving the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free base and leaves an apurinic (AP) site. |
