Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958? Semiconservative ...
Closed-circular DNA of colicin E1 plasmid can undergo a round of semiconservative replication when added to an extract of Escherichia coli. Extracts of cells that do not carry the plasmid are able to ...
The classic experiment described by Meselson and Stahl in their paper from 1958 demonstrated that genomes are replicated in a semiconservative manner. However, Donnianni and Symington, and Saini et al ...
