Q

describe **single base excision **repair

A

single base excision repair corrects defects in single bases by 1. glycosylases - remove defective base pair and corresponding sugar-phosphate is cleaved and removed by endonuclease -->action of lyase. DNA pol replaces the missing nucleotides and ligase connects DNA strand.

Q

why do you need to space out MAO tx and SSRI tx?

A

Need to wait at least 14 days btw stopping an MAO inhibitor and giving an SSRI. Why? b/c need to regenerate MAO so that you don’t have too much seretonin running around—>increased risk of seretonin syndrome.
