Abstract

The sensitivity of the model DNAs containing dA-dG and dtg-dG heteroduplex regions of defined length to S1 and mung bean single-strand specific nucleases was tested by polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of the distribution of product oligonucleotides. Single-base mismatch heteroduplexes were extremely resistant to these nucleases, although low levels of cleavage at the heteroduplex nucleotide were observed at high nuclease concentrations. The nuclease sensitivity of dA-dtg heteroduplex regions increased gradually as the length of the heteroduplex region increased frome one to six nucleotides. The sensitivity of dG-dG heteroduplexes three to five nucleotides long was considerably greater than that of the single dtg-dG mismatch.
