An enzyme that recognizes and repairs incorrect
pairings of nitrogenous bases in DNA. For instance,
a mismatch repair enzyme would recognize when Cytosine
(C) is mistakenly paired with Thymine (T). The enzyme
would then replace Thymine with Guanine (G), resulting
in a correct pair between Cytosine (C) and Guanine
(G). |
