P.494 top paragraph: "Owing to a rich history of elegant genetic and biochemical investigation of RecA, many of the biochemical and biophysical properties of RecA can be summarized in relation to the physiology of E. coli ( Table 1)." P.501 bottom paragraph: "The RecA–DNA complex is not a simple, compact entity, rather, it is a long partially flexible filament that has a persistence length (i.e., a measure of polymer stiffness) of ∼900 nm for the static ATPγS filament [primary source 44], which is approximately 20 times greater than dsDNA (45–50 nm primary source 80, ref 81) and several hundred times greater than ssDNA (0.6–3 nm primary sources 44, 82, ref 83) (Table 1)."
