Mechanisms of specific and nonspecific binding of architectural proteins in prokaryotic gene regulation.

abstract：:The synthesis of sphingomyelin was studied in baby hamster kidney cells and in subcellular fractions derived from rat liver. During pulse-chase experiments with [3H]choline in tissue culture cells, the specific radioactivity of sphingomyelin continued to increase after the specific activities of phosphocholine and cyt...
