Mechanisms of mutagenesis: analysis through the use of alcohol dehydrogenase in Drosophila. Contract summary, May 1978-October 1980

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6522532
The objective was to determine the mechanisms of mutagenesis of several mutagens in Drosophila melanogaster. The effects of mutagenesis on the amino acid sequence of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and the nucleo-1 tide sequence of the ADH gene were studied. Mutations in this gene were generated and the modified nucleotide deduced from the amino acid change ungendered. (ACR)
