Chetsanga ya gano enzymes guda biyu da ke cikin gyaran (repair) DNA da ya lalace: na farko, foramidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase, wanda ke cire 7-methylguanine da ya lalace daga DNA (1979),[4] da na biyu, purine imidazole-ring cyclase, wanda ya sake rufe imidazole zobba na guanin dan adenine lalacewa ta x-irradiation (1985).[3]

A cewar Chetsanga, binciken da ya mayar da hankali a cikin aikinsa na kimiyya ya kasance akan DNA da RNA tsarin da cikakkun bayanai na aiki kamar yadda suke da alaƙa da ƙwayar salula da ci gaban cuta.[14]
