DNA N-glycosylase activity
id: GO:0019104
name: DNA N-glycosylase activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: Catalysis of the removal of damaged bases by cleaving the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free base and leaves an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site.
