  "term": "thymine-DNA glycosylase",
  "field": "Agriculture and food",
  "definition": "An enzyme that removes thymine and uracil bases mispaired with guanine through hydrolysis of their N-glycosidic bond. These mispaired nucleotides generally occur through the hydrolytic deamination of 5-methylcytosine to thymine.",
