DNA Damage Reversal
Click the image above or here to open this pathway in the Pathway Browser
The direct reversal of DNA damage is obviously the most straightforward mode of DNA repair. A single-step repair reaction is considerably simpler compared to the multi-step biochemical pathways required in other DNA repair pathways (e.g., excision repair, NHEJ, recombination repair). Except for the alkyltransferase mode of repair that is energetically expensive, a reverse mode of DNA repair is in general also kinetically advantageous as it utilizes single gene product for rapid correction of the damage.
