Exercise 45

Let's suppose you want to use site-directed mutagenesis to investigate a DNA sequence that functions as a response element for hormone binding. From previous work, you have narrowed down the response element to a sequence of DNA that is 20 bp in length with the following sequence:
5 -GGACTGACTTATCCATCGGT-3
3 -CCTGACTGAATAGGTAGCCA-5
As a strategy to pinpoint the actual response element sequence, you decide to make 10 different site-directed mutants and then analyze their effects by a gel retardation assay. What mutations would you make What results would you expect to obtain
