Using single molecule micromanipulation and force measurement on DNA with a magnetic tweezer setup, this work has been devoted in part to a study of the " long patch " repair system of DNA. This repair involves the MutS, MutH and MutL proteins, and uses an as yet unidentified mechanism in order to act at a distance, between a site of mismatch (due for example to a replication error), and a proximal GATC hemimethylationsite, so that the repair is directed toward the newly synthesized strand. Some models of this action at a distance, involve the presence of a DNA loop, induced by the action of MutS on a mismatch. We have tried to explore this possibility, by studying the mechanical behavior of a long double stranded DNA, containing (or not co...
