title: Effect of distamycin a on the structure and template activity of DNA in RNA - polymerase system.
abstract: It is shown that native and denatured DNA form complexes with the oligopeptide-antibiotic distamycin A. The pronounced inhibition of the incorporation of AMP into RNA in the DNA directed RNA-polymerase system is due to the interference of the antibiotic with DNA.
