Abstract excerpt
The base excision repair (BER) pathway is a precise and versatile mechanism of DNA repair that is initiated by DNA glycosylases. Endonuclease VIII-like 1 (NEIL1) is a bifunctional glycosylase/abasic site (AP) lyase that excises a damaged base and subsequently cleaves the phosphodiester backbone. NEIL1 is able to recognize and hydrolyze a broad range of oxidatively-induced base lesions and substituted...
