Vanadate inhibits the ATPase activity and DNA binding …
Figure 1. Effect of vanadate on MutS ATPase activity. ATPase activity (solid line) is expressed as percentage of radioactive 32 P hydrolyzed from [γ‐ 32 P]ATP with respect to the value obtained in the absence of vanadate. The activity assay was carried out in the presence of orthovanadate (squares) or decavanadate (circles) solution as …
