## Abstract Oxidative damage represents the most significant insult to organisms because of continuous production of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo. Oxidative damage in DNA, a critical target of ROS, is repaired primarily via the base excision repair (BER) pathway which appears to be the

## Abstract This brief review presents the salient features of new developments in the enzymatic repair of base damage to DNA. DNA glycosylases and apurinic/ apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases are reviewed and evidence is presented that in at least two prokaryote systems incision of UVβirradiated DNA
Chromatin is a highly dynamic structure that acts alternately as a substrate and a template in a number of critical biological processes. Modification of chromatin is pertinent and is responsible for a number of nuclear processes, including DNA repair, replication, transcription, and recombination.
