<molecular biology> A DNA repair system that detects and replaces wrongly paired, mismatched, bases in newly replicated DNA. E. Coli has a mismatch correction enzyme coded for by three genes mutH, mutL and mutS, that is directed to the newly synthesised strand and removes a segment of that strand including the incorrect nucleotide. The gap is...

A DNA repair system that detects and replaces wrongly paired, mismatched, bases in newly replicated DNA. E. coli has a mismatch correction enzyme coded for by three genes mutH, mutL and mutS , that is directed to the newly synthesized strand and removes a segment of that strand including the incorrect nucleotide. The gap is then filled by DNA polymerase.

Mismatch repair: A system within the cell for correcting errors in DNA that works by detecting and replacing bases in the DNA that are wrongly paired (mismatched bases). The system repairs the mismatch. When there is a mismatch in the DNA, a mismatch correction enzyme goes to that strand of DNA and removes a segment of the strand containing the mis...
