| Comments |
Abstract p.401: "The rate of association of repressor and operator is very fast and follows second-order kinetics with the rate constant for association (ka) being 7 × 10^9 M^-1 sec^-1 in [researchers'] standard buffer." P.408 top paragraph: "The determination of ka from [researchers'] kinetic experiments should, therefore, be quite accurate. The data shown in Figure 5 lead to a ka value estimate of 7×10^9 M^-1×Sec^-1." P.413 3rd paragraph: "The rate of association of R and 0 is very fast. Kinetics appropriate for a simple
bimolecular reaction are followed with ka = 7×10^9 M^-1×sec^-1 in [investigators'] standard buffer." |
