title: Transcription of bacteriophage T4 DNA in vitro: selective initiation with dinucleotides.
abstract: The transcription products of phage T4 DNA in vitro are separated on polyacrylamide gels. The influence of salt, polymerase, triphosphate concentration and glucosylation on the RNA synthesis are shown. Individual transcripts are initiated selectively with dinucleotides and a single triphosphate. This technique allows the prediction of the initiation sequences of several T4 transcripts.
