MeSH headings : Adenosine Triphosphatases / metabolism; Adenosine Triphosphate / metabolism; Base Pair Mismatch; DNA / chemistry; DNA / genetics; DNA / metabolism; DNA Mismatch Repair; Hydrolysis; Models, Molecular; Multiprotein Complexes / metabolism; MutL Proteins / chemistry; MutL Proteins / metabolism; MutS DNA Mismatch-Binding Protein / chemistry; MutS DNA Mismatch-Binding Protein / metabolism; Structure-Activity Relationship
TL;DR: It is revealed that after the initial mobile clamp formation event, MutS undergoes frequent cycles of mismatch rebinding and mobile clamp reformation without releasing DNA, and mechanisms that localize repair complexes to the vicinity of the mismatch are supported. (via Semantic Scholar)
