It has been proposed that the mutation fixation processes stimulated by SOS induction result from an induced infidelity of DNA replication (Radman 1974). The aim of this study was to determine if mutator mutations in the E. coli DNA polymerase III might affect UV-induced mutagenesis. Using a phage l

β¦ Synopsis
Abstract
A highβresolution plotter of differential melting profiles of DNA, RNA, or related biopolymers with an onβline miniβcomputer is described. With this device, more than 15 transition steps were identified in the thermal melting profile of DNA from bacteriophage lambda. These fine structures were found to be reproducible, and some of them disappear in the deletion mutant.
To Examine the melting profile, computer simulations for several hypothetical polynucleotide sequences were performed, and compared with experimental data. The sharp peaks that appeared in the differential melting profile of Ξ» DNA may come from some homogeneous sequences of 500 bases or longer.

## Abstract Melting profiles of DNAs from wildβtype Ξ» phage and a deletion mutant phage Ξ»b2 were examined in a wide range of salt concentration. The fine structure of the melting profiles changed sharply with salt concentration, especially in the range [Na^+^] β©½ 10 m__M__. A comparison of the melti
The 2 micron circular DNA from S. cerevisiae has been cloned on bacteriophage lambda. The two forms of circular DNA which exist in equilibrium due to recombination between inverted repeat sequences were separated as stable clones, and a map of targets for restriction endonucleases EcoRI, HindIII and
Equations were determined for the dependency of the melting temperature (TJ of DNA upon the logarithm of the sodium ion concentration, for four DNA samples of widely diflerent base compositions (eoc). The dopee of these T, versus log M equations were found to decrease with increasing Boc of the samp
Rolling-circle replicating structures which represent late stage lambda DNA replication can be detected among intracellular phage lambda DNA molecules under recombination deficient conditions as well as in wild-type infections. Furthermore, if initiation of lambda replication is delayed until the la
