Abstract excerpt
The striking mutational specificity of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) exhibited in the lacI gene in Escherichia coli allows comment on the phenotypic consequences of mutation at specific sequences that are not recovered after MNNG mutagenesis. We predict that the I+ phenotype is maintained when such silent positions are substituted by amino acids whose codons are generated by the MNNG-directed...
