Abstract The properties of the major classes of DNA repair enzymes, such as DNA glycosylases, AP-endonucleases, incision nucleases, and alkyl transferases, are reviewed. With the exceptions of the incision nucleases, the properties of the enzymes are quite similar in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The incision nucleases probably do not recognize the modified base residues as such, but rather helical distortion brought about by the modifying agents. The other classes of enzymes are more or less specific for certain modified structures.
