Abstract: | Structure of the RecA x ADP(ATP) and recA x ADP x cation(+2) complexes was studied by methods of ESR, NMR and near-ultraviolet spectroscopy. The strong hypochromism in the adenine absorption band occurs. The complexes of nucleotide with cation and with protein were independently involved in the triple recA x ADP x cation(+2) complex. The triple complex can be treated as a three-link chain with the ADP localized in the middle. |
