Ribonucleotides covalently linked to deoxyribonucleic acid in T4 bacteriophage

Ribonucleotides covalently linked to deoxyribonucleic acid in T4 bacteriophage

J F Speyer et al. J Virol. 1972 Nov.

Abstract

Bacteriophage T4 was grown in the presence of labeled uridine. The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the phage was shown to contain covalently attached ribonucleotides. The label appears not to be internal in the DNA strands. Presumably, it is at the ends of the DNA strands and this may be related to DNA initiation.
