Question
A cytosine is deaminated. Describe the outcome of this deamination and explain in detail how E. coli repairs this mutation using base excision repair (BER). This repair should contain 5 steps and describe the function of all enzymes or structures.
Expert Solution

Step 1
DNA is made up of four bases two purines and two pyrimidines. Two purines are adenine and guanine. Two pyrimidines are cytosine and thymine. Some spontaneous changes occur inside the sequences of DNA making changes in it and the spontaneous changes are called mutations.
