Abstract
New physical evidence is presented bearing on the structure of the DNA-acridine complex. The results are fully compatible with the intercalated model, and incompatible with other plausible models. A mechanism based on recombination errors is proposed for the production of insertion and deletion mutations by intercalation of acridines.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
