  "id": "MLC-T-AGR-001927",
  "term": "DNA glycosylases",
  "field": "Agriculture and food",
  "definition": "A family of DNA repair enzymes that recognize damaged nucleotide bases and remove them by hydrolyzing the N-glycosidic bond that attaches them to the sugar backbone of the DNA molecule. The process called base excision repair can be completed by a DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) lyase which excises the remaining ribose sugar from the DNA.",
