Inhibition of Transformation by Sodium Metaperiodate in Streptococcus sanguis (Wicky): Demonstration That Deoxyribonucleic Acid Binding Sites Contain Amino Acids

Jon M Ranhand 1
PMCID: PMC246874  PMID: 4364331

Abstract

Addition of sodium metaperiodate to competent Streptococcus sanguis (Wicky) cells at 0 or 37 C revealed that the deoxyribonucleic acid binding sites consist of amino acids.
