Abstract excerpt

Nucleotide sequences called Chi (5'-GCTGGTGG-3') enhance homologous recombination near their location by the RecBCD enzyme in Escherichia coli (Chi activation). A partial inhibition of Chi activation measured in lambda red gam mutant crosses was observed after treatment of wild-type cells with DN...
