Table 1. List of 10 analysed fragments with k-factors.

The fragments are displayed with the parC sequence in grey and the framing plasmid DNA in black. The number of base pairs are printed over the fragment part (length of parC is 159 bp). The restrictions sites at the fragment ends are given. Fragments 1 to 6 have parC full-size wild-type and mutant sequences. Fragment 9 has the first and 10 has the last 5-fold repeated iteron sequences together with the mutated region between the repeats. Black vertical bars in the parC sequences represent the positions of the mutations. The k-factors are listed for the various experimental conditions under which they were determined. ParC indicates the wild-type, parC H-K the mutant sequence. Open table elements indicate that the k-factor was not determined for this fragment under these conditions.

For several k-factors the mean value of several measurements is given. The error of the k-factors is ±0.05.
