Biology:Formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase
From HandWiki
Formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (FPG) is a base excision repair enzyme which recognizes and removes a wide range of oxidized purines from correspondingly damaged DNA.[1] It was discovered by Zimbabwean scientist Christopher J. Chetsanga in 1975.[2]
