Abstract excerpt
Eleven of 15 possible single and double mutations were constructed in a cloned copy of Escherichia coli 16 S rDNA at a base-paired site, 1409-1491. Expression of any of these mutations was detrimental to the growth of E. coli. Mutations that substituted unpaired purine bases were lethal in the system described. Otherwise, the degree of detrimental effect on growth-rate was not directly correlated with specific...
