TL;DR: It is postulate that the nalA gene product occurs in two molecular forms, as Pnal and as a gyrase component, and inhibition of this activity by nalidixic and oxolinic acids may account for the inhibition of DNA synthesis by these drugs.

TL;DR: Results show that the class II intron products are similar to those of nuclear pre-mRNA splicing, particularly the spliced exons and broken form of the lariat.

TL;DR: It is postulate that ATP and App[NH]p are allosteric effectors of a conformational change of gyrase that leads to one round of supercoiling and that cyclic conformational changes accompanying alteration in nucleotide affinity also seem to be a common feature of energy transduction in other diverse processes including muscle contraction, protein synthesis, and oxidative phosphorylation.

TL;DR: Expansion of a collection of sequenced phage genomes to a total of 60-all infecting a common bacterial host-provides further insight into their diversity and evolution.

TL;DR: The abundance and diversity of phages, the simplicity ofphage isolation, and the relatively small size of phage genomes support bacteriophage isolation and comparative genomic analysis as a highly suitable platform for discovery-based education.
