Replicating past lesions in DNA

Mol Cell. 2002 Oct;10(4):700-1. doi: 10.1016/s1097-2765(02)00687-1.

Abstract

Replication of damaged DNA is essential in all organisms and is potentially achieved by several mechanisms. How Escherichia coli employs these different mechanisms to effect efficient, accurate replication of a damaged template is revealed in this issue of Molecular Cell.
