Abstract excerpt
RecA protein catalyzes DNA strand exchange, a basic step of homologous recombination. Upon binding to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), RecA protein forms a helical nucleoprotein filament. Normally, this nucleoprotein filament binds double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and promotes exchange of base pairs betwe...
