Intersheet rearrangement of polypeptides during nucleation of {beta}-sheet aggregates.

abstract：:For several decades, research into the mechanisms of genetic recombination proceeded without a complete understanding of its cellular function or its place in DNA metabolism. Many lines of research recently have coalesced to reveal a thorough integration of most aspects of DNA metabolism, including recombination. In b...
