Role of RecA protein spiral filaments in genetic recombination
Abstract
Physical and enzymatic studies on RecA protein from Escherichia coli provide the basis for a molecular model of general genetic recombination, a novel feature of which is the role attributed to spiral filaments of RecA protein.
