DNA repair
Direct reversal repair is specific to the damage. For example, in a process called photoreactivation, pyrimidine bases fused by UV light are separated by DNA photolyase (a light-driven enzyme). For direct reversal of alkylation events, a DNA methyltransferase or DNA glycosylase detects and removes the…
