Characterisation of Tn501, a transposon determining resistance to mercuric ions
Mol Gen Genet.
.
Abstract
The transposon encoding resistance to mercuric ions, Tn501, is 5.2 (+/-0.1) x 10(6) daltons and is bounded by small inverted repeats. The restriction sites for the restriction endonucleases EcoRI, HindIII and SalGI have been mapped on the element.
