Term Name:	alkylbase DNA N-glycosylase activity
Synonyms:	3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase II, AlkA, alkylated-DNA glycohydrolase (releasing methyladenine and methylguanine), alkylbase DNA glycosidase activity, deoxyribonucleate 3-methyladenine glycosidase II, DNA glycosidase II activity, DNA-3-methyladenine glycosidase II activity, DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase II
Definition:	Catalysis of the reaction: DNA with alkylated base + H2O = DNA with abasic site + alkylated base. This reaction is the hydrolysis of DNA by cleavage of the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar to remove an alkylated base, leaving an apyrimidinic or apurinic site.
