title: [Base excision repair of DNA: glycosylases].
abstract: The review considers the role of base excision repair in maintaining the constancy of genetic information in the cell. The genetic control and biochemical mechanism are described for the first stage of base excision repair, which is catalyzed by specific enzymes, DNA glycosylases.
