Abstract excerpt
A recA mutant (recA423; Arg169-->His), with properties that should help clarify the relationship between the biochemical properties of RecA protein and its two major functions, homologous genetic recombination and recombinational DNA repair, has been isolated. The mutant has been characterized in...
