Fortunately, nature has a way of fixing these breaks through homologous recombination (HR). This process involves a protein called RecA (or its equivalent in different organisms) that binds to a ...

This historical perspective integrates 50 years of research on SOS mutagenesis in Escherichia coli with the proverbial '3R' functions—replication, repair and recombination—that feature DNA ...

Genetic recombination is the molecular process by which new combinations of the genetic ... Chen “Appropriate Initiation of Strand Exchange Reaction Promoted by RecA Protein Requires ATP Hydrolysis,” ...
