Alkali-labile sites in daughter DNA of damaged Escherichia coli do not reflect apyrimidinic sites.
Apyrimidinic sites arising after excision of uracil incorporated into DNA daughter strands might constitute alkali-labile sites. The hypothesis was checked in the present paper and the data obtained do not support it.
