E)coli recombination?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The RecA protein promotes strand invasion and formation of the D loop in E.coli recombination. RecA binds to the single-stranded DNA and searches for complementary base pairs in the double-stranded DNA. It then promotes the strand invasion and D loop formation, which is followed by DNA synthesis and branch migration.
