Restart of DNA replication in Gram-positive bacteria: functional characterisation of the Bacillus subtilis PriA initiator.

abstract：:High performance liquid chromatography analysis of imidazole open ring 7-methylguanine, 2-6 diamino-4-hydroxy-5N-methyl-formamidopyrimidine (rom7G), showed two well-separated peaks (fI and fII) of the same magnitude. Rechromatography of each isolated component indicated that they are slowly interconverted to give a 1:...
