Question:
How is the Direction of Mismatch Repair Controlled?
Author: Noura Al shalanAnswer:
-There is a bias in the selection of which strand to replace at mismatches. -The strand lacking methylation at a hemimethylated GATCCTAG is usually replaced. -The mismatch repair system is used to remove errors in a newly synthesized strand of DNA. At G-T and C-T mismatches, the T is preferentially removed.
