Formation of an RNA primer for initiation of replication of ColE1 DNA by ribonuclease H.

abstract：:A detailed conformational analysis of the known crystal structures of vitamin A, carotenoid, and xanthenoid derivatives has been made. These studies suggest that the visual chromophore 11-cis retinal and its isomers may each occur in several different conformational states, which would be expected to have different li...
