title: Evidence for a Schiff base formation of peptides derived from RecA with single-stranded oligonucleotides containing 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine.
abstract: We report some evidence for a Schiff base formation of 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine containing oligonucleotides with oligopeptide derived from the DNA binding site of RecA protein. We have demonstrated that cross-linked products were successfully detected by lowering the peptide concentrations. This is probably due to the reduced formation of large aggregates.
