Synonyms: | single-strand selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase activity |
Definition: | Catalysis of the cleavage of the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar, releasing a free base and leaving an apyrimidinic (AP) site. Enzymes with this activity recognize and remove uracil bases present in single-stranded DNA. |
