title: [Role of the membranes in the regulation of the activity of genetic structures of bacteria and mitochondria].
abstract: The literature on DNA interaction with both the prokaryotic cell membranes and the mitochondria of the Eukaryota is surveyed. Data are presented in favour of membrane localization of DNA and of the regulatory role of membranes in genome expression. A possible "conformational" mechanism of the control of gene activity by conformational changes of membranes related to cell metabolism is discussed. The problems of protein-nucleic recognition are concerned.
