DNA Repair Mechanisms
James explains the intricacies of DNA mismatch repair, highlighting how enzymes detect and correct errors in newly synthesized strands. Unlike base excision repair, which targets specific nucleotides, mismatch repair removes larger sections of DNA to ensure accuracy. The process relies on the assumption that the unmethylated strand is the one with the error, prompting a complete redo of that segment.In this clip
