Mutation frequency decline revisited.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Jun 1994

Witkin E M

Abstract excerpt

'Mutation frequency decline' (MFD) was discovered about forty years ago, and described as the disappearance of a particular class of ultraviolet light-induced mutations in Escherichia coli that occurred whenever protein synthesis was briefly inhibited immediately after irradiation. Later, MFD was interpreted as an excision repair anomaly uniquely affecting nonsense suppressor mutations induced in certain tRNA...
