Abstract excerpt
Phage lambda integrative and excisive recombination normally proceeds by a pair of sequential strand exchanges. During the first exchange reaction, the "top" strand in each recombination site is cleaved, exchanged, and religated generating a Holliday junction intermediate. This intermediate DNA structure is resolved through a pair of reciprocal "bottom" strand exchanges, leading to recombinant products. The...
