How does nucleotide-excision repair differ from base-excision repair?
Base-excision repair recognizes and removes single damaged bases,
whereas nucleotide-excision repair is more general, recognizing many
different kinds of lesions that distort the DNA molecule.
O Only the base is removed in base-excision repair, whereas the entire
nucleotide is removed in nucleotide excision repair
Base-excision repair requires no protein components and can occur by
simple absorption of UV light, whereas nucleotide-excision repair requires
several enzymes
Nucleotide-excision repair reverses the chemical reaction that caused the
lesion, whereas base-excision repair removes the damaged bases and
replaces them with normal ones.
