Nucleotide and mutation induced conformational changes in HpMutS2. a Limited proteolysis. Proteins (4 μM) either free or pre-incubated with nucleotides (1 mM) were incubated with chymotrypsin (1.25 ng) for 30 min at 37 °C. All proteolysis reactions were performed in 1X buffer A lacking magnesium. Reactions were stopped by adding a protease inhibitor cocktail and the products were separated on SDS-PAGE (10 %).

Proteins (1 μM) dialyzed in 50 mM Tris-Cl and 100 mM NaCl were subjected to thermal denaturation and spectra were recorded at 222 nm using Jasco-815 spectropolarimeter
