Glycosylases (EC 3.2) are
enzymes that
hydrolyze glycosyl compounds. They are a type of
hydrolase (EC 3). In turn,
glycosylases are
divided into two groups:...
- DNA
glycosylases are a
family of
enzymes involved in base
excision repair,
classified under EC
number EC 3.2.2. Base
excision repair is the
mechanism by...
- Uracil-DNA
glycosylase (also
known as UNG or UDG) is an enzyme. Its most
important function is to
prevent mutagenesis by
eliminating uracil from DNA molecules...
- G/T mismatch-specific
thymine DNA
glycosylase is an
enzyme that in
humans is
encoded by the TDG gene.
Several bacterial proteins have
strong sequence...
- DNA-3-methyladenine
glycosylase also
known as 3-alkyladenine DNA
glycosylase (AAG) or N-methylpurine DNA
glycosylase (MPG) is an
enzyme that in humans...

categories of
glycosylases:
monofunctional and bifunctional.
Monofunctional glycosylases have only
glycosylase activity,
whereas bifunctional glycosylases also...
- 8-Oxoguanine
glycosylase, also
known as OGG1, is a DNA
glycosylase enzyme that, in humans, is
encoded by the OGG1 gene. It is
involved in base excision...
- DNA-3-methyladenine
glycosylase I (EC 3.2.2.20,
deoxyribonucleate 3-methyladenine
glycosidase I, 3-methyladenine DNA
glycosylase I, DNA-3-methyladenine...
- Double-stranded uracil-DNA
glycosylase (EC 3.2.2.28, Mug, double-strand uracil-DNA
glycosylase, Dug, dsUDG, double-stranded DNA
specific UDG,

- DNA-3-methyladenine
glycosylase II (EC 3.2.2.21) is an
enzyme that
catalyses the
following chemical reaction:
Hydrolysis of
alkylated DNA,
releasing 3-methyladenine...
