AP sites and AP endonucleases
Abstract
The sensitivity of internal and terminal apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites to alkaline hydrolysis and beta-elimination is described. The symmetric and asymmetric modes of endonucleolytic hydrolysis by specific AP endonucleases are compared and the discrimination between their non-enzymatic and catalytic mechanism is discussed.
