Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage N4 virion RNA polymerase promoters contain five to seven-base inverted repeats separated by three bases and centered at position -12 from the site of transcription initiation. We have previously shown that these inverted repeats extrude as hairpins at physiological superhelical dens...
