Separation of T-even Bacteriophage Deoxyribonucleic Acid from Host Deoxyribonucleic Acid by Hydroxyapatite Chromatography

Separation of T-even bacteriophage deoxyribonucleic acid from host deoxyribonucleic acid by hydroxyapatite chromatography.

A simple and rapid method is described for separation of T-even bacteriophage deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from host (Escherichia coli) DNA by hydroxyapatite column chromatography with a shallow gradient of phosphate buffer at neutral pH. By this method, bacteriophage T2, T4, and T6 DNA (but not T5, T7, or lambda DNA) could be separated from host E. coli DNA. It was found that glucosylation of t...

Deoxyribonucleic acid repair in bacteriophage.

Glucosylated Nucleotide Sequences from T-even Bacteriophage Deoxyribonucleic Acids.

1. The frequencies of various pyrimidine nucleotide sequences in phage-T2VG111 DNA and phage-T6 DNA have been measured. The hydroxymethylcytosine nucleotides that bear glucosyl groups in phage-T2VG111 DNA and gentiobiosyl groups in phage-T6 DNA are not randomly distributed. 2. Sequences in which two or three hydroxymethylcytosine nucleotides are terminated at both ends by purine nucleotides bea...

Enzymatic Synthesis of Deoxyribonucleic Acid. Deoxyribonucleic Acid By

MISSOURI The enzymatic synthesis of DNA1 in sufficient excess over the DNA used to prime the reaction21 a has enabled us to examine the chemical composition of the synthetic product. As has already been demonstrated, this DNA consists of deoxy-nucleotides Linked by typical 3'-5' phosphodiester bonds, and all four of the deoxy

Equal incorporation of both parental bacteriophage T7 deoxyribonucleic acid strands into intracellular concatemeric deoxyribonucleic acid.

After infection of Escherichia coli B with radiolabeled T7 bacteriophage, the parental deoxyribonucleic acid label was found in both polynucleotide chains of the intracellular T7 concatemer.
