Excision endonuclease in NER nicks the backbone around thymine dimers for removal. Deamination of cytosine results in uracil.
Excision endonuclease in NER nicks the backbone around thymine dimers for removal. Deamination of cytosine results in uracil.
| Text | excision endonuclease is part of nucleotide excision repair and makes nicks in the phosphodiester backbone of the thymine dimer and removes the defective oligonucleotide. Deamination of cytosine yields a uracil |
