Designing a Western blot for MLH1? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the MLH1 Western Blot GuideFacts about DNA mismatch repair protein Mlh1.
Meeting of this MutL-MutS- heteroduplex ternary complex in existence of RFC and PCNA is enough to trigger endonuclease activity of PMS2. It introduces single-strand breaks close to the mismatch and thus generates new entry points for the exonuclease EXO1 to degrade the strand containing the mismatch.
