abstract：:Bacteriophage T3-induced RNA polymerase, upon copying its specific template, native T3 DNA, initiates RNA chains only with GTP. Denaturation of the DNA results in loss of template specificity for the polymerase. With denatured T3 DNA as template, T3 polymerase initiates RNA chains with both ATP and GTP, and the averag...
