Applications:
1. Remove mismatch DNA (error correction) from gene synthesis reaction
2. Mutation detection and removal.
Example Protocol
1. After first round PCR, purify PCR fragments using Qiagen QIAquick PCR purification kit with elution in dH2O.
2. Dilute PCR product to 250 ng/µl in 10 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.8, 50 mM NaCl and heat to 95 oC for 5 min followed by cooling at 0.1oC/s to 25 oC.
3. Add binding buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.8, 10 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT and 5% glycerol) to annealed PCR product, adjust DNA concentration to 11.5 ng/µl, add 6XHis-MBP–MutS dimers to 950 nM.
4. Incubate the mixture at room temperature for 10 min, then add an equal volume of amylose resin (NEB) preequilibrated with 1X binding buffer, and incubate for 30 min at room temperature.
5. Gently spin down beads and save supernatant for subsequent processing (second round PCR, cloning etc).
