Molecular Biology by Robert F. Weaver
AP Site Notes:
In molecular genetics and biochemistry, an Apurinic or Apyrimidinic site (AP Site), also called an abasic site is a specific location in the DNA that neither has a purine, nor a pyrimidine base. This absence can be accounted to DNA damage or it can be spontaneous. Sometimes an AP site can also be present in the RNA.
