Abstract excerpt
We characterize aspects of the conformation and dynamic state of RecA filaments when bound to dsDNA that are specifically linked to the presence of the second of the two bound DNA strands. Filaments bound to dsDNA exhibit a facile exchange between free and bound RecA monomers or oligomers in the filament interior that is not seen on ssDNA. The RecA mutant K72R, which binds but does not hydrolyze ATP, forms mixed...
