Procdure:
• One inoculates streptomycin susceptible cells of Escherichia coli in a flask
containing 100 mL of broth, and also in 100 tubes each containing 1 mL of
broth.
Mechanism:
Once MutS recognizes a distorted double helix caused by a
mismatched base (e.g., an insertion or a deletion) it undergoes
an ATP dependent conformational change and binds to MutL.
