|
molecular_function
|
A molecular process that can be carried out by the action of a single macromolecular machine, usually via direct physical interactions with other molecular entities. Function in this sense denotes an action, or activity, that a gene product (or a complex) performs. |

GO:0003824
|
catalytic activity
|
Catalysis of a biochemical reaction at physiological temperatures. In biologically catalyzed reactions, the reactants are known as substrates, and the catalysts are naturally occurring macromolecular substances known as enzymes. Enzymes possess specific binding sites for substrates, and are usually composed wholly or largely of protein, but RNA that has catalytic activity (ribozyme) is often also regarded as enzymatic. |

GO:0140640
|
catalytic activity, acting on a nucleic acid
|
Catalytic activity that acts to modify a nucleic acid. |
|
GO:0140097
|
catalytic activity, acting on DNA
|
Catalytic activity that acts to modify DNA. |
|
GO:0016829
|
lyase activity
|
Catalysis of the cleavage of C-C, C-O, C-N and other bonds by other means than by hydrolysis or oxidation, or conversely adding a group to a double bond. They differ from other enzymes in that two substrates are involved in one reaction direction, but only one in the other direction. When acting on the single substrate, a molecule is eliminated and this generates either a new double bond or a new ring. |
|
GO:0016835
|
carbon-oxygen lyase activity
|
Catalysis of the breakage of a carbon-oxygen bond. |
|
GO:0003906
|
DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity
|
Catalysis of the cleavage of the C-O-P bond in the AP site created when DNA glycosylase removes a damaged base, involved in the DNA base excision repair pathway (BER). |
|
GO:0140078
|
class I DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity
|
Catalysis of the cleavage of an AP site 3' of the baseless site by a beta-lyase mechanism, leaving an unsaturated aldehyde, termed a 3'-(4-hydroxy-5-phospho-2-pentenal) residue, and a 5'-phosphate. |
