Kinetics of repeat propagation in the microgene polymerization reaction

M Itsko, A Rabinovitch, A Zaritsky - Biophysical journal, 2009 - cell.com
Repetitive DNA is a periodic copolymer with the intrinsic property of exponential propagation
to longer repeats. Microgene polymerization reaction (MPR) is a model system in which a …
