Abstract excerpt

A plasmid containing the STR operon has been modified in vitro (i) by irradiation with UV light, (ii) by reaction with ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS), (iii) by reaction with N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (AcO-AAF), (iv) by reaction with (+/-)trans-benzo[a]pyrene-7, 8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BP...
