Abstract excerpt
An adequate model for the initiation of chromosome replication in Escherichia coli should explain why the introduction of multiple copies of the chromosomal origin of replication, oriC, does not perturb cells seriously and why such multiple origins are replicated synchronously; it should explain why the key initiator protein, DnaA, is activated in vitro by binding specifically to acidic phospholipids and why the...
