BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACIDS. Progress Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4013354
Progress is reported in studies of the transformation of biochemical characters in Bacillus subtilis. This system has demonstrated many advantageous features for the study of the gene-enzyme relationship at the molecular level since the experimental system permits a controlled study of the genetic activity of pure desoxynibonucleic acid in the control of the synthesis of specific enzymes. Data are presented from quantitative studies of competence in transformation, the genetic control of tryptophan biosynthesis in B. subtilis, and the effect of desoxyribonuclease on the biological activity and chemical integrity of desoxyribonucleic acid.
