Colorectal cancer (CRC) is due to faulty DNA repair. DNA from CRC patients and cancer free controls, was mixed with a protein, and run in an agarose gel. The slowing down of the DNA band is due to a complex formed between the DNA and the protein. Which protein could that be? Op53 O protein X O MutS Orad51
