1. 1. Search human Mlh1 or its homologous proteins in Protein Data Bank (PDB) database. You just need to search for protein structure, do not find complex structure. Give its (a) ID number, (b) Name of the molecule, (c) experimental method for structure determination and (d) Resolution of the structure.

ANS:
(a)ID number:1AZO
(b)name of the molecule:DNA Mismatch Repair Protein Muth From E. Coli
(c)experimental method for structure determination:X-ray Diffraction
(d)Resolution of the structure [A]: 1.70


2. Show its structure in ribbons form (400x400).
