Apurinic Site (AP Site) Definition:
A deoxyribose in a DNA strand that has lost its purine base..
Molecular Biology by Robert F. Weaver
Apurinic Site (AP Site) Notes:
Apurinic Site (AP Site) is the location on a DNA strand (or in RNA sometimes), that does not carry a purine base. In other words the purine bases from the strand are lost either spontaneously or due to some damage. It is estimated that on a daily basis, about 10,000 apurinic sites can be generated in a cell under physiological conditions.
