Abstract

Activities of RNA polymerases from wild type B/r strain of E. coli and its pleiotropic rpoB403 rif-r mutant were studied using five various DNA matrices and various groups of early region promotors of T4 and T7 phage DNA. The mutation differentially affects RNA polymerase-catalyzed RNA synthesis depending on the promotor used. Relative efficiency of A3 promotor of T7 phage DNA is enhanced in case of the mutant enzyme. rpoB403 mutation can be used for the classification analysis of promotors differing in their interaction with the enzyme.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
