Base excision repair is specifically designed to remove and replace single bases that have been damaged or modified in a way that they cannot be directly repaired back to their original state. This process involves the removal of the damaged base followed by the excision of the sugar-phosphate backbone at the site, and then filling in and resealing the gap with the correct base.
