Cleavage of fragments containing DNA mismatches by enzymic and chemical probes.

We prepared synthetic 50-mer DNA duplexes, each containing four mismatched base-pairs in similar positions. We examined their cleavage by DNases I and II, micrococcal nuclease (MNase), methidiumpropyl-EDTA-Fe(II) [MPE-Fe(II)] and hydroxyl radicals. We find that single mismatches only produce subtle...
