Hybridization analysis of the methylated bases of Escherichia coli DNA
Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta
|February 29, 1980
Abstract:
The 5-methylcytosine residues of Escherichia coli DNA are randomly dispersed along the genome. Hybridization data indicate that these methyl moieties are transcribed at the same frequency as the total DNA. These results suggest that DNA methylation probably does not play a role in gene expression in bacteria.

02:05DNA as a Genetic Template
Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...
01:20Mismatch Repair
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
