DNA Metabolism: Replication, Repair, and Recombination Explained — Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry▶ 22:09And the cell fixes it howWith base excision repair, or BERThis pathway deals with damage to single basesDNA Replication, Repair, and Recombination Explained — Molecular Biology of the Cell▶ 44:33Two of the most general and important are called excision repair pathways because they work by cutting out the damaged portionThese are base excision repair, BER, and nucleotide excision repair, NERThe basic strategy for both is similarGenomic DNA Replication, Repair, & Rearrangements — The Cell: A Molecular Approach▶ 18:58The basic idea is you cut out the damaged part and use the other strand as a template to patch itThe first type is base excision repair, or BERBER is for single damaged bases that don't really distort the helix much
