I think it's looking pretty good so far, here are some minor edits that could improve your article: Thisaccountisforclass (talk) 16:59, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Add some visuals- to the intro or the base repair section
 * Some sections are missing citations?- the last few sentences in the formation and the characteristics sections are missing citations, the section on repair doesn't have any citations

 * "DNA (also in RNA but much less likely)" the wording of this needs to be reworked as it comes off strange and a citation right here would make the claim more substantial/believable
 * Link suggestions: N-glycosidic bond, hydroxyl, deoxyribosephosphate, phosphate, aldehyde
 * "In alternative fashion" can be changed to "Alternatively"
 * Citations needed: 2nd paragraph of introduction, all of the sections that you are adding to it
 * Introduction is very specific - could benefit from both a rewording and becoming more of an overview - some of the specifics could be made into another section
 * Under "Biological Activity" section - last sentence take out the word 'simply' and just say the cell may die. Additionally, what constitutes a 'significant' or 'serious' mutation?
 * Under "Repair" section 'deal with' doesn't seem very scholarly; missing the y in successfully (right now it just says successful)
 * "... prepare the site for nick for ligation" is this the proper wording? Or is it supposed to be "prepare the nick site for ligation"?
 * Overall language of your sections that you added seems very wikipedia-esque - well done

Lead Section
•Introduction serves as a great introduction to AP sites; however, it gets really in depth. Could possibly add the specifics into the later sections

Article
•Formation

No comments

•Characteristics

Could possibly add pictures of the various terms being named; maybe show pictures of the AP sites, 3 to 5’ DNA, furanose

•Repair

Once again, more diagrams would be really beneficially to the paragraph

Existing Article
This article is really informative and further expands upon the original article about AP sites. It is really specific and could really benefit from figures or diagrams because the lengthiness and complexity of some of the terms being used makes it difficult to picture what is going on
