Abstract excerpt
The two overlapping promoters that control mRNA synthesis at the galactose operon contain three phased stretches of adenine residues, located around positions -84.5, -74 and -63, with respect ot the start of the P1 promoter. As a result, the corresponding DNA sequence is bent, an anomaly that is...
